Junto con Sandra Cisneros y Julia lvarez, Esmeralda Santiago se ha convertido en una de las ms prominentes autoras Latinas de hoy. Una gran cantidad de lectores y fanticos han estado a la espera por cinco largos aos por el siguiente captulo de la historia comenzada en sus memorias Cuando era Puertorriquea y Casi una mujer; ahora la espera ha terminado. En El amante turco, Esmeralda finalmente se libera y supera una lucha monumental con su madre?slo para caer bajo la esclavitud de el turco y descubrir que la pasin romntica tambin puede ser una prisin. Su viaje de liberacin y descubrimiento personal es atrevido, narrado de una forma sincera, y nos conduce hacia su triunfante graduacin de Harvard. El humanismo desenfrenado, el humor, y el valor psicolgico que le dieron tanto xito a sus dos primeras memorias, estn una vez ms completamente expuestas en El amante turco, que satisfacer al nmero de lectores fieles y lo aumentar. La suya es una voz fresca, apasionante, y necesaria. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In this memoir, we become witness to the transformation of the little Puerto Rican girl who emigrated to New York with her single mother and ten siblings. Esmeralda Santiago finally breaks out of a monumental struggle with her powerful mother, only to come under the thrall of the Turk and discover that romantic passion, too, can become a prison. Esmeralda's journey of self-liberation and self-discovery is a daring one, candidly and zestfully recounted, and leads, most improbably, to her triumphant graduation from Harvard. The expansive humanity, earthy humor, and psychological courage that made Esmeralda's first two books so successful are on full display again in El amante turco, which will both reward the author's faithful readership and extend it. Hers is a fresh, exciting, and necessary voice. [A] deftly understated saga of an intense, abusive relationship...Santiago's latest will grow on readers. Her slow self-realization is deeply human.
