Thats how Consuelos mother has cast her pensive, book-loving daughter, while Consuelos younger sister Mili, is seen as vivacious--a ray of tropical sunshine. Two daughters: one dark, one light; one to offer comfort and consolation, the other to charm and delight. But something is not right in this Puerto Rican family.<br />Set in the 1950s, a time when American influence is diluting Puerto Ricos rich island culture, Consuelo watches her own familys downward spiral. It is Consuelo who notices as her beautiful sister Milis vivaciousness turns into mysterious bouts of hysteria and her playful invented language shift into an incomprehensible and chilling "language of birds." Ultimately Consuelo must choose: Will she fulfill the expectations of her family--offering consolation as their tragedy unfolds? Or will she risk becoming <em>la fulana</em>, the outsider, like the harlequin figure of her neighbor, Mario/Maria Sereno, who flaunts his tight red pedal pushers and empty brassiere as he refuses the traditional macho role of his culture.<br />This affecting novel is a lively celebration of Puerto Rico as well as an archetypal story of loss, the loss each of us experiences on our journey from the island of childhood to the uncharted territory of adulthood.</p>...3144712The Meaning of Consuelo156179https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-meaning-of-consuelo-9781466808324/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2691881/59462274-3a79-46da-bf40-4355cea28ae6.jpg?v=638834904057470000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20259781466808324_W3siaWQiOiJjNzVjYmI1Mi05Yjk4LTRlZmItOGVlNC0wYjA2MmIxOWNmMDkiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjE3OSwiZGlzY291bnQiOjIzLCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjE1NiwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDctMTdUMjA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9781466808324_<p><em>La nina seria</em>, the serious child.
