pickQuiet story about an Irish immigrant questioning where she belongs; where is her home? Does she belong in familiar Ireland or in her new life & opportunities in America? I enjoyed this book, especially the writing style, even though I had trouble feeling and staying connected to the main character. #LitsyAtoZ:T #LitsyReadingChallenge #LitsyRC7
#litsyreadingchallenge check in #litsyrc7 was Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet. I am in process of #litsyrc10 Behind Her Eyes as well as Hidden Figures for #litsyrc13
Anyone else going to read The Zookeeper this month to see the movie?

I'm thinking Wing Jones for my book about immigration? #litsyrc7
pickFantastic! Naila's parents made me angry. The marriage she was literally forced into (yes, force) broke my heart. Her loss of choice and voice changed her life in ways that I take for granted daily. I think that is one way in which this book is so powerful: it offers a perspective that so many of us never get to see.
I loved the glimpse into Pakistani culture, as Naila's family are immigrants.

"...You can choose what you want to be when you grow up, the types of shoes you want to buy, how long you want your hair to be. But your husband, that's different. We choose your husband for you. You understand that, right?"

Happy birthday to Sandra Cisneros! To celebrate, we recommend picking up her most recent book, a collection of nonfiction essays that, together, form a memoir of her life and lived experiences. It's full of Cisneros' signature wisdom and grace & is a great peek into her life as a Latina woman in the US, issues of economic inequality, cultural critique, & overcoming misogyny with female identity & sexuality. 🙌🏽
