"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
From the Publisher:
Made into a major motion picture that starred Academy Award winner Marisa Tomei, The Perez Family is "a profound little parable about the redemptive power of love. And when you put it down . . . you have glimpsed a single human truth, brilliantly stated. And it will linger in your mind for a long time."--New York Times Book Review
From Library Journal:
A fast-moving, hilarious epic novel about a Cuban ex-prisoner's arrival in America in the Mariel boatlift? Strange, but true. Juan Raul Perez was imprisoned 20 years ago for his political views in his native Cuba, while his wife and young daughter fled to Miami. Few letters have gotten through in the ensuing 20 years, and Juan doesn't know what to expect when he finds them again. But before the reunion, Juan must survive the dizzy world of refugee relocation (he's sent to the Orange Bowl) in his frail and nearly toothless condition. He must also survive wild Dottie, a fellow Marielita who latches on to him because they share the same last name and she believes couples will be resettled first. A rollicking story full of surprises; quite out of the ordinary.
