Product Description
Every year the three Reyes sons and their families drive south from Chicago via Route 66 to the home of the Awful Grandmother and the Little Grandfather on Destiny Street in Mexico City. From the back seat of her father's red Chevy station-wagon, our storyteller Lala loves to witness the crossover from endless Texas to flamboyant Mexico, the switch from truck stop donuts to street vendors with corn on the cob, the smell of hot tortillas and the sting of roasting chillies in the throat and eyes. The youngest of many cousins, Lala is also the most curious. Did the Little Grandfather really lose those very ribs in a terrible battle? And why is the Awful Grandmother's special treasure, her caramelo silk shawl, the colour of burnt milk candy, still unfinished ? As Lala grows older she learns the colourful tales and 'healthy lies' behind the official family legends. Cisneros is a great story teller, a tantalizing conjurer of tastes and atmospheres - and the creator of characters who stomp and dance off the page into your heart.

評分《拉拉的褐色披肩》,差一點成瞭書架上的裝飾物。書皮上明亮的色塊是街上流行的糖果色,放在書架上"看起來"還不錯,一年半還是保持著塑封。我承認,流行的多少總叫我有點不屑,那不過是一次心血來潮,和相隨而來的一次缺乏分辨力的集體感染,多少有點膚淺和媚俗。和她的上一本...
評分世間萬物就好像一塊布,人類就是相互交織的縴維。每個人都同我聯結在一起,我也同其他人聯結在一起,就像披肩上的一縷縷絲綫一樣。如果把一股綫拉開,整條披肩就會解體。所以說,無論是誰,隻要他(她)介入瞭我的生活,我的那部分“披肩圖案”就一定會受到影響,反之我也會影...
