“An important novel that illuminates a world and time with truth and originality. Cruz captures the texture and tenor of being an immigrant woman, caught between worlds and loyalties.”-Julia Alvarez, author of In the Time of The Butterflies “This story feels so right for this moment.
Dominicana is a thrilling, necessary portrait of what it means to be an immigrant in America.” -Patricia Engel, author of The Veins of The Ocean and Vida “Cruz is a hero, a heartbreaker, and a visionary. This coming-of-age novel with its unforgettable young heroine takes on the pressing questions of the day-immigration, identity, the claim to Americanness-with a deceptively light touch and a whole lot of charm.” -Ayana Mathis, author of The Twelve Tribes of Hattie “From the very first sentence of Dominicana, we remember why we’ve missed Cruz. “ Dominicana is beautiful, engaging, and cuts right to the heart of what it is to be a dutiful young female from a poor country who is bright in every sense of the word, full of love and hope.”-Mary Gaitskill, author of The Mare and Veronica “An essential read for our times.” -Cristina Garcia, author of Dreaming in Cuban “Gorgeous writing, gorgeous story.” -Sandra Cisneros, author of The House on Mango Street So glad the time has come.” -Edwidge Danticat, author of Brother I’m Dying and Breath, Eyes, Memory “I have been eagerly waiting for a new book from Angie Cruz.
