I found this a hard-hitting coming-of-age novel for Esperanza, a 13 year old Mexican child. It tells the story of her and her mother going from riches to rags after her father’s death, and having to face up to the poverty and migration as they move to California and is a powerful story which is great for improving Spanish.
