Caramelo, Or, Puro CuentoCaramelo, Or, Puro Cuento

The celebrated author of "The House on Mango Street" gives us an extraordinary new novel, told in language of blazing originality: a multi-generational story of a Mexican-American family whose voices create a dazzling weave of humor, passion, and poignancy -- the very stuff of life. "Caramelo" is a romantic tale of homelands, sometimes real, sometimes imagined.
