-Descripcion Original:

La celebre autora de La casa en Mango Street, y ganadora del PEN/Nabokov Award for Achievement in International Literature 2019, nos ofrece una nueva y extraordinaria novela narrada en un lenguaje de una originalidad arro-lladora: es la historia de varias generaciones de una familia mexicoamericana cuyas voces crean un des-lumbrante y vivo tapiz de humor y de pasion, hecho con la esencia misma de la vida.La abuela de Lala Reyes es descendiente de una familia de afamados reboceros. El rebozo de rayas color caramelo es el mas bello de todos y aquel que llega a pertenecer a Lala, al igual que la historia familiar que este representa. La novela comienza con el viaje anual en automovil de los Reyes-una caravana desbordante de niños, risas y pleitos- desde Chicago hasta el -otro lado-: la Ciudad de Mexico. Es aqui que Lala cada año escucha las historias de su familia y trata de separar la verdad de las -mentiras sanas- que han resonado de una generacion a otra. Viajamos desde la Ciudad de Mexico, que era el -Paris del Nuevo Mundo- a las calles llenas de musica de Chicago en los albores de los locos años veinte y, finalmente, a la dificil adolescencia de Lala en la tierra no tan exactamente prometida de San Antonio, Texas.Caramelo es una historia sabia, vital y romantica, sobre el lugar de origen, algunas veces real, algu-nas veces imaginado. Vivida, graciosa, intima e historica, es una obra brillante destinada a convertirse en un clasico: una nueva novela de gran importancia de una de las escritoras mas queridas de nuestro pais.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONFrom the winner of the 2018 PEN/Nabokov Award for Achievement in International Literature. Every year, Ceyala “Lala” Reyes family-aunts, uncles, mothers, fathers, and Lalas six older brothers-packs up three cars and, in a wild ride, drive from Chicago to the Little Grandfather and Awful Grandmothers house in Mexico City for the summer. Struggling to find a voice above the boom of her brothers and to understand her place on this side of the border and that, Lala is a shrewd observer of family life. But when she starts telling the Awful Grandmothers life story, seeking clues to how she got to be so awful, grandmother accuses Lala of exaggerating. Soon, a multigenerational family narrative turns into a whirlwind exploration of storytelling, lies, and life. Like the cherished rebozo, or shawl, that has been passed down through generations of Reyes women, Caramelo is alive with the vibrations of history, family, and love. Review All the energy of a riotous family fiesta. . . . Cisneros is undeniably at her peak.” - The Washington PostA glorious book, Caramelo is crowded with the souvenirs and memories of the dramas of everyday life…like an oversized family album, intimate as well as universal.- The Philadelphia InquirerA joyful, fizzy American novel. . . Soulful, sophisticated and skeptical, full of great one-liners, it is one of those novels that blithely leap across the border between literary and popular fiction.” - New York Times Book ReviewLike Eduardo Galeano, John Dos Passos and John Steinbeck, Cisneros writes along the borders where the novel and social history intersect. In this lovingly told and poetic novel, she uses the storytelling art to give the voiceless ones a voice, and to find the border to the past, imbuing the struggles of her family and her countries with the richness of myth.” - Los Angeles Times“A wonderful book . . . evoking life’s absurdity and possibility, tragedy and transcendence. . . . Combines the thematic richness of the most ambitious literature with the delight in character and plot of the most engrossing page-turner.” - Chicago Sun-Times“Cisneros is a writer for all people. This is a novel of families, home life and finding yourself in the world’s greater landscape.” - USA Today“A sprawling, exuberant hopscotch through a century of family history. . . . Cisneros seduces us with her knitted tales, great and small,
