Synopsis "Penny, Caída del Cielo: Retrato de Una Familia Italoamericana (in Spanish)"

Touching and multilayered, this novel tells the story of Penny, an 11-year-old Italian American living in 1950s New Jersey who is looking forward to a summer of butter pecan ice cream, swimming, and baseball. Penny's idyll is shattered by several events, though. First, her mother starts dating the milkman. Then, Penny's arm goes through the wringer on the washing machine. Finally, details about her father's death, which her family has refused to discuss until this point, begin to surface. This clearly drawn tale eloquently describes the intricacies of family life.

Sin embargo, el idilio de Penny es interrumpido por varios eventos. Primero, su madre empieza a salir con el lechero. Entonces, el brazo de Penny se tranca en el escurridor de la lavadora.

Este cuento bien trazado describe elocuentemente las complejidades de la vida familiar.
