Product Description

Here is a multigenerational story of a Mexican-American family whose myriad voices create a dazzling weave of passion, poignancy and the stuff of life. Lala Reyes' grandmother is descended from a family of renowned rebozo, or shawl, makers- the striped (the carameloOO) being the most beautiful of all, and the one that makes its way into Lala's possession. Caramelo is a classic novel that bridges Mexican, Mexican-American and American cultures. It is a vital, wise romantic tale of homelands... sometimes real, sometimes imagined, always irrisistable.
