How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents is a wonderfully funny and poetic novel about the experiences of a largely female Dominican family during a time of political turmoil. The various stories, told from the points of view of the four Garcia girls, reflect life as immigrants and life as females in two different cultures. Drawing from her own life, Alvarez writes with such authority and good humor that the characters seem to be old friends by the end of your read. Every girl who reads this book can find something to relate to.
