Her first published novel, in which uses as characters practically everyone she knows, was a big success. Now she's basking in the spotlight while those \"characters\" find their very recognizable selves dangling in that same blinding light. But turnabout is fair play, and so here, Yolanda Garc?'s family and friends tell the truth about Yo. Her three sisters, her Mami and Papi, her grandparents, t?s, t?s, cousins, housemaids, her third husband: they take turns telling their side of the story, ripping into Yo and in the process creating their own endearing self-portraits. At once funny and poignant, intellectual and gossipy, lighthearted and layered, \u003ci\u003e Yo!\u003c\/i\u003e is above all a portrait of the artist. And with its bright colors, passion, and penchant for controversy, it's a portrait that could come only from the palette of Julia Alvarez. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eDon't miss Alvarez's new novel, \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Cemetery of Untold Stories, \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eavailable now!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julia Alvarez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1616209496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781616209490\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Algonquin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/09\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 15\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e41458 \/ Yo!\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Julia Alvarez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44043119165695,"sku":"9781616209490","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6679c3e0-d04e-4465-b592-4d6c9032417f.jpg?v=1684965365","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/yo-julia-alvarez-9781616209490","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
