“In this engrossing collection…Crucet details vividly the daily struggle that leads Cubans to prize their heritage above much else, but also illuminates a powerful need to escape the past.”
—Publishers Weekly
“This is definitely a young writer to watch for, sassy, smart, with an unerring ear for a community’s voices, its losses, its over-the-top telenovela extravagances, and its poignant struggles to understand itself in a new land. I was glad not to have to leave Hialeah right away, but to stay long enough to hear its many stories as told by a gifted writer like Jennine Capó Crucet.”
—Julia Alvarez, How the García Girls Lost Their Accents & In the Time of the Butterflies

Visit Jennine's blog, which isn't updated too often (or at all) these days because she's working feverishly on a novel. Still, though, it's fun-ish.

There used to be a link to Jennine's ridiculous wedding website here. Then she stopped paying the bill for the domain name. Archived pages from that—the good ones with pictures of parrots and skunks on them—coming soon. Maybe.
