From the Dust Jacket: "In ECCENTRIC NEIGHBORHOODS National Book Award finalist Rosario Ferré tells the story of two families whose lives loves and steamy intrigues coincided with the demise of Puerto Rico's plantation society and the rise of the nouveaux riches. Elvira Vernet comes from a male-dominated family of merchants living in the Puerto Rican town of La Concordia. Her father Santiago Vernet and his four sons help transform Puerto Rico from a bucolic island where hunger is a part of the landscape into a bustling industrial society with all of its contradictions and attendant ills. Handsome eloquent and enormously successful he can't help but charm his only daughter. Yet in understanding her obsession with her father Elvira must first come to terms with her mother who died many years before and whose family the Rivas de Santillanas had roots in an old plantation culture that could not survive the era of mechanization. ECCENTRIC NEIGHBORHOODS is an attempt to lay bare the psychological conflicts that determine the relationships between mothers and daughters and it is also the story of Puerto Rico's transformation from the beginning of the century into a spearhead of the Caribbean. Lush vibrant and disarmingly funny ECCENTRIC NEIGHBORHOODS confirms Rosario Ferré's reputation as one of the most colorful and captivating novelists in the Latin American tradition. ROSARIO FERRE is the author of THE YOUNGEST DOLL SWEET DIAMOND DUST and THE HOUSE ON THE LAGOON FSG 1995 among many other works. She is a frequent lecturer in the United States and lives in Puerto Rico.". INSCRIBED / SIGNED by the AUTHOR. "First edition 1998" so stated. Hard Cover. Fine condition/Fine dust jacket.
