![]() This book would not make sense at all in a different setting! I feel like the main focus of the book is Lala tracing her heritage through her grandmother and connecting to her Mexican roots. ![]() For example, when Soledad goes to Aunt Fina's house, the description seems focused of Fina's disorganized and distressed character, but through this I am able to understand the setting. I think the author's description of characters is more precise than the setting, but the description of characters helps the reader visualize the things going on. Also, she encompasses the change of setting, being both American and Mexican. She talks about the change of setting (from the United States to Mexico) as a family tradition. Since the time period switches, I think the thing the reader needs to understand about the time period is which one it is: old or current. I'm not quite sure what the time period is, but I think it is fairly current since Lala talks about her grandmother being young around the time of the Mexican Revolution. ![]() ![]() Secondly, the book changes time periods from part 1 to part 2. Firstly, Lala travels from the United States to Mexico. ![]()
