Carolina

Summary: Carolina leaves you hungry for more
Review: Carolina is a very real recount of the things that were so important for the higher and middle classes in Mexico, at the begining of the XX century.
Carolina's insights show you a very coragous woman in a time when woman needs were very much neglected, by men and even by themselves.
If something it leaves you wanting more: more details; more facts; and more about what else went on her mind.
I think Jean Day should write another book, and I congratulate her on her first and I hope not last novel.

Summary: Carolina Better for You than Water for Chocolate
Review: There's a ring of truth about Jean Day's fascinating historical novel of a middle-class young woman swept up into the vast movement of the Mexican Revolution. The story concerns passionate love and love betrayed, and what a person of character like Carolina,the heroine, does (must do) to hold her life together when, as it seems, everything she counted on has fallen down around her.

There is nothing showy here, but CAROLINA is not a quiet book either. It breathes with excitement and the incredible sweep of the historical period it chronicles. Carolina moves through the beautifully-textured world of early 20th century Mexico at first romantically and increasingly as a realist--but one true to her ideals.

I read this book in a single sitting. It has stayed with me as only an honest story beautifully told can.
