by Sandra Cisneros (Author), Liliana Valenzuela (Translator)

La c lebre 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 m xicoamericana cuyas voces crean un des-lumbrante y vivo tapiz de humor y de pasi n, 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 m s bello de todos y aqu l que llega a pertenecer a Lala, al igual que la historia familiar que ste representa. La novela comienza con el viaje anual en autom vil de los Reyes--una caravana desbordante de ni os, risas y pleitos-- desde Chicago hasta el «otro lado la Ciudad de M xico. Es aqu que Lala cada a o escucha las historias de su familia y trata de separar la verdad de las «mentiras sanas que han resonado de una generaci n a otra. Viajamos desde la Ciudad de M xico, que era el «Par s del Nuevo Mundo a las calles llenas de m sica de Chicago en los albores de los locos a os veinte y, finalmente, a la dif cil adolescencia de Lala en la tierra no tan exactamente prometida de San Antonio, Texas.

Caramelo es una historia sabia, vital y rom ntica, sobre el lugar de origen, algunas veces real, algu-nas veces imaginado. V vida, graciosa, ntima e hist rica, es una obra brillante destinada a convertirse en un cl sico: una nueva novela de gran importancia de una de las escritoras m s queridas de nuestro pa s.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

From the winner of the 2018 PEN/Nabokov Award for Achievement in International Literature.

Every year, Ceyala "Lala" Reyes' family--aunts, uncles, mothers, fathers, and Lala's six older brothers--packs up three cars and, in a wild ride, drive from Chicago to the Little Grandfather and Awful Grandmother's 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 Grandmother's 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.
