A PEN/Hemingway Award-Winning Novel of Chicano Identity, Gentrification, and Los Angeles Lives

Set in the changing Mexican-American neighborhood of Echo Park, Los Angeles, Brando Skyhorse's PEN/Hemingway Award-winning novel connects eight distinct voices following a tragic drive-by shooting on Esperanza Street that wounds a young girl.

Through interconnected perspectives—including a day laborer seeking work outside a Home Depot, a proud housemaid serving wealthy Anglo clients, a bus driver, and teenagers navigating gang boundaries—the novel explores working-class immigrant struggles, assimilation, and neighborhood identity.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Brando Skyhorse crafts an authentic portrait of working-class Chicano Los Angeles. Essential reading for fans of Sandra Cisneros, Luis Alberto Urrea, and Hector Tobar.
