Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A novel about love's labors lost at once hilarious and heartrending, "Loving Pedro Infante" unravels the fictions people weave to justify loving the wrong mate, and confirms Denise Chvez's reputation as one of the most vibrant Chicana storytellers.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In the soothing darkness of her local theater, thirty-something teacher's aide and divorcée Teresina Tere Ávila looks straight into the smoldering eyes of Pedro Infante and wonders where her life has gone. The impossibly handsome Mexican singer and movie icon died in 1957, but to Tere -- secretary of the Pedro Infante fan club chapter 256 -- he remains an everlasting symbol of the possibility of passion beyond her New Mexico town. <br> Tere's passions are wasted on Lucio, the married lover who plies her with sweet kisses and false promises. Comfort comes in her adoration for Infante and in the companionship of her best friend, Irma La Wirma Granados. Then, one night at the Border Cowboy Truck Stop, Tere is forced to confront reality -- and the choices she must make to reclaim her life.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Francine Prose <i>O, The Oprah Magazine</i> Vivid, juicy, and extremely appealing....Chávez has created a wonderfully plausible and full-bodied character...[and] given us a funny, delightful, and ultimately moving meditation on the difference and the distance between reality and fantasy, love and lust, real life and the movies.<br><br><i>Miami Herald</i> Exuberant...and relentlessly engaging....Chÿvez has a marvelous ear for the dramatic moment and a fine hand for the comic set piece...a star turn.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Denise Chavez</b> is the author of <i>The Last of the Menu Girls</i> and <i>Face of an Angel, </i> for which she won the American Book Award.
