In this dislocating urban environment Iliana reluctantly confronts the anger and desperation that seem to seep through every crack of her family's small house, and experiences all the contradictions, superstitions, joys, and pains that come from a life caught between two cultures. In this magnificent debut novel, filled with graceful prose and searing detail, \u003cb\u003eLoida Maritza P rez\u003c\/b\u003e offers a penetrating portrait of the American immigrant experience as she explores the true meanings of identity, family--and home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780140253719\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.76h x 5.12w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/07\/2000 pg. 36\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Loida Maritza Perez","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43059667828917,"sku":"9780140253719","price":18.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_a2dfca03-f775-42f2-a5ea-d395edbc487d.jpg?v=1690296709","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/geographies-of-home-9780140253719","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
