The Fourteen Sisters of Emilio Montez O'Brien

In a small town in rural Pennsylvania, Irish photographer Nelson O'Brien and Cuban poet Mariela Montez raise fourteen daughters and one son. In The Fourteen Sisters of Emilio Montez O'Brien, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Oscar Hijuelos introduces the dynamic Montez O'Brien family--half Irish, half Cuban, and wholly memorable. Told through the eyes of the oldest daughter, Margarita, the intricate relationships, intense passions, griefs and joys of a complex and dynamic cast of characters come to life in a novel that's both exuberant and lyrical.
