Gringa Latina: A Woman of Two Worlds (Kodansha Globe)

Rating:
Summary: A beautifully told story...
Review: I really enjoyed this book. She did such a wonderful job describing Peru and the complexity of her feelings being a "Latina" based on geographic reasons, and "Gringa" according to her ethnicity. I also found it interesting how she was perceived when in America. Reading this book also made me want to see Peru and all it's beauty.
