A Numbered Street

The author relies on real events from recent history, bestowing upon each character the face of a generation that later became a diaspora, one born out of the poorest corners of the Dominican Republic, during an era when working-class families felt destined to watch from afar the prosperity reserved for the privileged classes.

The plot unfolds in a neighborhood where loyalty, love, and street smarts give meaning to life: a place where social and ideological struggles coexist with magical-religious beliefs.

This work invites the reader to discover the secrets kept by the residents of a street—one of those streets whose very name evokes marginalization. A place where certain illegalities are tolerated and antiheroes emerge, yet which still makes room for joy and hope.
