La clebre 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 arrolladora: es la historia de varias generaciones de una familia mxicoamericana cuyas voces crean un deslumbrante y vivo tapiz de humor y de pasin, 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 ms bello de todos y aqul que llega a pertenecer a Lala, al igual que la historia familiar que ste representa. La novela comienza con el viaje anual en automvil de los Reyesuna caravana desbordante de nios, risas y pleitos desde Chicago hasta el otro lado: la Ciudad de Mxico. Es aqu que Lala cada ao escucha las historias de su familia y trata de separar la verdad de las mentiras sanas que han resonado de una generacin a otra. Viajamos desde la Ciudad de Mxico, que era el Pars del Nuevo Mundo a las calles llenas de msica de Chicago en los albores de los locos aos veinte y, finalmente, a la difcil adolescencia de Lala en la tierra no tan exactamente prometida de San Antonio, Texas.Caramelo es una historia sabia, vital y romntica, sobre el lugar de origen, algunas veces real, algunas veces imaginado. Vvida, graciosa, ntima e histrica, es una obra brillante destinada a convertirse en un clsico: una nueva novela de gran importancia de una de las escritoras ms queridas de nuestro pas.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONFrom the winner of the 2018 PEN/Nabokov Award for Achievement in International Literature.Every year, Ceyala Lala Reyes' familyaunts, uncles, mothers, fathers, and Lala's six older brotherspacks 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.
