Yo! (Spanish Language Edition)

A zesty, exuberant follow-up to the wildly popular "How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents"--full of Julia Alvarez's keen observations and tender affection for her characters. The Garcia girls are back, most notably Yolanda, or "Yo", who has grown up to be a writer. This brilliant novel is a full and true exploration of a woman's soul, a meditation on the writing life, and a lyrical account of the immigrant's search for identity and a place in the world.

Julia Alvarez is the author of the novels How the García Girls Lost Their Accents, In the Time of the Butterflies (a national Book Critics Circle Award finalist), and Yo!. She has also published two poetry collections (Homecoming and The Other side/El Otro Lado) and a collection of essays (Something to Declare).
