Gonzalez, Xochitl

Gonzalez’s novel is based on the true story of artist Ana Mendieta who tragically died young, allegedly at the hands of a jealous man. The writing is absolutely fabulous, the story is gripping, and the characters are memorable. Outstanding.

Given the forthcoming TV adaptation, libraries should expect demand for this big-hearted, entertaining family drama that also touches on important social and political issues.
