Caridad Ferrer

Interesting try at retelling a classic opera! I wish the connection wasn't made SOOOO completely obvious though.

This was a random find while browsing the YA section. It's an entertaining read.

I'm a sucker for well written YA, and good adaptations of classical stories, also a sucker for dance narrative.
This does a terrific job of hitting my sweet spot, with a strong, authentic narrator staying true to her Hispanic heritage... and setting the stage for a reinterpretation of Carmen that builds out into character development and obsession/passion along interesting lines.
A fun, fast read.
