Beloved

What do you think so far?  What do you notice?  I'd like to know how you feel about the language and the stream of consciousness?

Felicia

"Felicia hides in her bed.  Her son will not leave her, that much she knows.  She opens her mouth but her thoughts erase themselves before she can speak.  Something is wrong with her tongue.  It forms broken trails of words, words sealed and resistant as stones.  She summons one stone and clings to it, a drowning woman, then summons another and another until she cries, "Mami, I grieve in my dreams."  Felicia page 83

Poor Felicia...she breaks my heart.

Dreaming in Cuban ?

Hello all,

I'd like to know what you think about the novel.  Which character do you like most?  How about Garcia's usage of language...I love the poetry of the text and I love the reality of Pilar and Lourdes' relationship.  So write back and let me know.
