Culturally diverse fiction is Ana Castillo's forte, 29 Jun 1999
In this new novel Ana Castillo tells the story of Carmen "la coja", a woman with a deteriorated leg that has reached beyond her natural strenghts to become a Flamenco dancer and who gets involved with two interesting characters, allowing the reader a glimpse into a culturally separate reality. Ana Castillo's fiction is a lesson in life as lived by a large part of the population that somehow remains invisible to those that seek to ignore it. Excellent book.
