Entre Lineas Reading List - Post from Barbara

Susan found a list of books we read through June 2004. Wow, we read some interesting books! Samia will have to help with the ones we've read since then. Here are some others I can think of:

In the Time of the Butterfles, Julia Alvarez
Portrait in Sepia, Isabel Allende
Love in the Time of Cholera, Gabriel Garcia Marquez (only male author we have read)
Shadow of the Wind, Carlos Ruiz Zafón (well, one other male author)

Here's an interesting note: The book club started because one day Samia came down to my office when we were in the bank building and we were talking to Stephanie Gutierrez about what a good book Cantora was. We thought it would be a great idea to start a book club of Hispanic women to discuss that book so that is why the first
book we read was Cantora (Stephanie never did join!)

Here's the second list I found. If I have left any off the list, please let me know.

Cantora - Sylvia Lopez-Medina (Mexican-American, Modesto, CA, deceased March 1998)
House of the Spirits - Isabelle Allende (Chile)
So Far From God - Ana Castillo (Mexican-American, Chicago)
Inhabited Woman - Giaconda Belli (Nicaragua)
A Place Where the Sea Remembers - Sandra Benitez (Puerto Rican)
Daughter of Fortune - Isabelle Allende (Chile)
Loving Pedro Infante - Denise Chavez (Mexican-American Las Cruces)
Bloody Waters - Carolina Garcia-Aguilera (Cuban)
Angel of Galilea - Laura Restrepo (Colombian)
America’s Dream - Esmeralda Santiago (Puerto Rican)
The Perez Family - Christine Bell (Irish)
Caramelo, - Sandra Cisneros (Mexican-American, Chicago)
Gabriela, Clove and Cinnamon - Jorge Amado (Brazilian)
Dirty Girls Social Club - Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez (Mexican/Cuban American, Albuquerque)
