Acerca deste livro eletrónico

No other novel has depicted so faithfully the plight of the Dominicans who emigrated to the United States during the nineteen-eighties, fleeing poverty, inequality, and social discrimination, drawn by the illusions of the American dream and the foreign cultural influences that emerged after the fall of the dictatorship and the outbreak of a revolution.

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.
