“We are finally free, but at the very moment when the gates swing open and we can fly out of the cage, Aunt Carmen’s love rekindles our longing for our homeland.”

The lives of the four García sisters are upended when the family is forced to leave their luxurious home in the Dominican Republic due to their father’s involvement in an attempted coup.

In the beautiful but not always welcoming New York City, the parents cling to their old habits, while Karla, Sandra, Yolanda, and Sofia try to build a new life: straightening their hair, dressing like Americans, and gradually forgetting their native Spanish. In Julia Alvarez’s award-winning cult novel, the sisters tell their stories of being at home – and not at home – in America for thirty years.
