I couldn't put this book down. This is a story about a Cuban woman in the United States, but it's really a story about the American Dream. The cover says it all. A woman in a glittery dress and heels . . . mopping. This juxtaposition of fanciful hope and mundane reality runs all through the novel. I highly recommend.
