The Aguero Sisters

The Aguero Sisters, by Cristina Garcia was a book that related a lot towards Cuban history. Yet it also contained many aspects that related to American history and the material that has been discussed in history class as well.
The book is about two sisters who each lead very different lives. Reina lives in Cuba and was very involved in the revolution until she was electrocuted very badly. Constancia is living in the United States and grasps the many opportunities that are given to her in this country. The Aguero Sisters talks a lot about the Spanish American War, which was studied in class. Reina is very loyal to her country and wants to make it better. This book also shows the vast opportunities that America has to offer through the character Constancia. Constancia has a very successful business and makes a great amount of money selling her beauty products, which is something she could have never accomplished if she were to stay in Cuba.
