rating: 2 of 5 stars
The Garcia girls are four sisters who are forced to immigrate with their parents to the United States following political unrest in the Dominican Republic in the 1960s. The book is told in reverse chronological order with a different character narrating different vignettes. Some of the stories were interesting, but some were a little too abstract for me.
There wasn't really a major plot thread that kept me hooked through the book, so the second half slowed way down for me. The characters were interesting in a troubled sort of way, but I found I was sometimes confused about which sister was which.
I enjoyed the first half, but overall I was left disappointed.
