"Latin American magical realism leaps over any borders and ends up
in the barrio of Spanish Harlem. A love story, coming-of-age story,
a mystery, a whodunit story, and ultimately a story of true love in
the broadest sense." —Julia Álvarez, author of In the Time of the
Butterflies
“Taína is a searing search for the meaning in what we choose to
believe and the stories we tell ourselves. . . . This novel's
belief and trust in love is something we desperately need to hear.”
—Helena Viramontes, author of Under the Feet of Jesus
