6/8/2023 0 Comments Caramelo novel![]() The book is about a young Xicana girl named Celaya, also born in Chicago, and also the youngest with six brothers, and the story begins with her traveling across the border with her family to visit her grandmother in Mexico City.Ĭelaya, as a child, is very interested in language, storytelling, and in the life histories of her family, and the story soon becomes a multi-generational narrative that moves from 1920’s Mexico City to Chicago in the 50’s and in between. Much of the inspiration for Caramelo comes from her childhood, as part of a huge family where she was the youngest with six older brothers. Sandra is a Chicana writer raised in the U.S., in Chicago, who began publishing her work in the 1980’s. The book I chose to review is Caramelo by Sandra Cisneros, published in 2002. ![]()
