Uprooted from their family home in the Dominican Republic, the four Garcia sisters—Carla, Sandra, Yolanda, and Sofia—arrive in New York City in 1960 to find a life far different from the genteel existence of maids, manicures, and extended family they left behind. What they have lost—and what they find—is revealed in the fifteen interconnected stories that make up this exquisite novel from one of the premiere novelists of our time.
