I've only just started this book but felt compelled to write a small review as I cannot put it down!! Will definitely look out for more books by Angie Cruz. This moving, exceptional story dives deep into the realities of female immigrant experience and the economics of marriage and citizenship. Ana's story is filled with music and reverence for survival, and for joy. Lonely and miserable, Ana hatches a reckless plan to escape. "—Cristina Garcia, author of Dreaming in Cuban“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“A beautiful generational love story.”—Elizabeth Acevedo, author of The Poet X“From the very first sentence of Dominicana, we remember why we’ve missed Cruz. She imbued so much life into all the characters - Their varied personalities sprung off the pages and could completely change the feed of the chapter/book. Especially for a girl of color. When Juan returns, Ana must decide once again between her heart and her duty to her family.In bright, musical prose that reflects the energy of New York City, Angie Cruz's Dominicana is a vital portrait of the immigrant experience and the timeless coming-of-age story of a young woman finding her voice in the world. I 'read' the audible version of this and the narrator was great and really brought the story and characters to life. A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK Shortlisted for the 2020 Women's Prize for Fiction“Through a novel with so much depth, beauty, and grace, we, like Ana, are forever changed.” —Jacqueline Woodson, Vanity Fair“Gorgeous writing, gorgeous story.” —Sandra CisnerosFifteen-year-old Ana Cancion never dreamed of moving to America, the way the girls she grew up with in the Dominican countryside did.

Just when she’s having second thoughts about her new existence and loveless marriage, she begins forming a bond with Juan’s brother, Cesar. Cruz delves into the tough choices that follow in this beautiful literary novel.”—The Washington Post “Told in first person, in an unadorned voice both childlike and wise, Dominicana takes us inside the mind of its very young narrator…And a small miracle happens in the book’s pages…a woman bravely setting forth on a new life, finding and conquering America on her own newly learned terms, and facing a future as hopeful as an infant’s bright eyes.”—The Baltimore Sun“Rich, heartbreaking…A coming-of-age story about making choices for survival versus love.”—Real Simple “Ana as narrator is mesmeric, funny, enchanting…A story of sacrifice, strength, and love.”—Houston Chronicle“Cruz tells the story with a raucous sense of humor and writes in short, present-tense chapters that help make this a propulsive though heartbreaking read.”—BuzzFeed “This stunner of a novel thrums with vitality, a singular addition to the canon of immigration narratives, and introduces readers to the wonderfully complex and resilient Ana.”—Nylon “This exciting tale of immigration, love, and independence has been praised by the likes of Sandra Cisneros and Cristina Garcia, making it one of the most anticipated coming-of-age stories of the year.”—The Millions “This moving coming-of-age story centers on Ana Canción, a 15-year-old girl from a poor family in the Dominican Republic during the tumultuous 1960s…You'll root for Ana (who's based on Cruz's mother) as she tries to navigate a new life that, at least at first, seems worlds away from the American Dream.”—AARP“Remarkable…Dominicana is set in 1965 New York City, but the story feels especially timely in today’s climate.”—HelloGiggles “Ana Cancion’s voice will grab you on page one, and ensure you’ll stay through everything that faces her on a journey that’s both epic yet not uncommon…A coming-of-age story of a girl forced to come-of-age too soon.”—Refinery29 “Mesmerizing…This stirring immigration story is Cruz’s breakout book; it should be heralded alongside Julia Alvarez’s How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents.”—Library Journal (starred review) “Enthralling…[Ana’s] growth and gradually blooming wisdom is described with a raw, expressive voice.
