Book Description:
In this deeply stirring novel, acclaimed author Cristina García follows one extraordinary family through four generations, from China to Cuba to America. Wonderfully evocative of time and place, rendered in the lyrical prose that is García's hallmark, Monkey Hunting is an emotionally resonant tale of immigration, assimilation, and the prevailing integrity of self.

Beautiful, haunting, surprising ... a very quick read, quite thought provoking. Very worthwhile.

Garcia has just come out with a new book-- Handbook to Luck-- so I wanted to read all of her earlier books. This one takes you from China to Cuba to the US and she does it so effortlessly. There are Chinese Cubans, so this is her tale of a family and how the cultures mix to form someone new. Great read, her economical use of words makes you imagine the story so easily, yet it's a quick read. Nicely done.
