Elena, born into a family ruled by a formidable mother, embarks on an epic journey to the New World, met along the way by evil, magic, and good fortune. The daughter, grand-daughter, and great-granddaughter who follow each share her special powers of observation and, often, destruction. The result is a family saga unlike any other: a hilarious, heartbreaking story of family ties that bind.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Wonderfully wrought, with language as simple and straightforward as a fable, alive with a stunning metaphorical quality." --<i>New York Newsday</i> <p/>"Nothing less than a tour de force." --<i>The Forward</i> <p/>"Mesmerizing...This is a definite read for anyone bored by traditional tales." --<i>Seventeen</i> <p/>"A bold first novel....A powerful telling of the immigrant experience." --<i>The Los Angeles Times</i> <p/>"Splendid...If there is any complaint to be made, it is that the novel ends too soon and the reader is forced to close the covers and drift back into reality." --<i>San Diego Union-Tribune</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Judy Budnitz</b>'s stories have appeared in <i>Story, The Paris Review, Glimmer Train, </i>and <i>25</i> And Under.
