by Rosario Ferré

"Attempts to portray social dislocations of a Puerto Rican society transformed by the Spanish-Cuban-American War and US intervention through the lives of two island families. Ferré captures the decadence of the old Spanish world and the ascent of a new dominant class with a different outlook and values as they impact the lives of her characters"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
