"A Cafecito Story" by Julia Alvarez

I decided to read A Cafecito Story again, but this time I read it in Spanish. The way that the words progressed and flowed added to the beauty of the story so much. I felt such a strong connection to the plot and the conversations of the story when it was in the native tongue of the characters because I could visualize and hear the conversations more. The experience of re-reading it in Spanish created a much deeper understanding of the story and of the struggle of organic farmers.
