Description:
Here is the story of Lydia Espana, an emigre from Cuba who works on the Upper West Side of Manhattan as a cleaning woman to help support her husband Raul and two children. Writing with spell-binding passion, Hijuelos simultaneously tells Lydia's tale -- her loves, her marriage, her Havana past, her frustrations with her life in New York, her children -- as well as stories of the secret lives she uncovers in her clients' apartments. No one writes better of love or the pulse of a city than Hijuelos, and no one before has better captured the complexity of what happens to generations of people who come to America: how assimilation is at once the achievement of dreams and yet sometimes a loss of what has rooted us to the past. Lydia Espana is one of Hijuelos's most magnificent creations and Empress of the Splendid Season is truly a tour de force by a master storyteller at the peak of his creative powers.
