Description
Set in Queens, New York, this lyrical debut follows a close-knit group of girls from immigrant families as they grow from childhood into adulthood. Through shifting perspectives and a chorus of distinctive voices, the novel captures their friendships, family expectations, romantic yearnings, and efforts to reconcile cultural inheritance with the freedom to define themselves. Vividly rooted in the sights, sounds, and languages of the city, it is a tender, exuberant portrait of girlhood, ambition, identity, and the enduring bonds that shape us.
