This was a pretty cool book of feminist stories from the Latin American author Rosario Ferre. My favorite story was"The Youngest Doll"
where an aunt makes all her nieces dolls as a wedding present. For the youngest niece, she makes a doll filled with honey. The girl finds her husband only really wanted her as a trophy. "Amalia" is an interesting story too about a girl who is infatuated with a chauffeur and fights off the advances of her uncle. I need to be more multicultural with my reading. There is no doubt that this book will get another reading maybe in a year or two.
