Synopsis
Consuelo is growing up in San Juan in the 1950s, and her problems are myriad. Not only do her parents seem on the verge of breaking up, but her sister is becoming increasingly odd (she will become a schizophrenic), her gay cousin flees to the mainland, her love life is hopeless, and the island itself is changing as the influence of the American presence become more pronounced.

Publisher's Note
"Nina seria," the serious child. This is how Consuelo's mother has cast her pensive book-loving daughter, while Consuelo's younger sister, Mili, is seen as a ray of tropical sunshine. Two daughters: one dark, one light; one to offer comfort, the other to charm and delight. But something is not right in this Puerto Rican family. As family members share the wisdom of earlier generations of island women, reveal secrets, and recall gossipy "tragedias," they are blind to the tragedy unfolding before their eyes. It is Consuelo who notices that her beautiful sister Mili's vivaciousness has turned into mysterious bouts of hysteria and that her playful invented language has shifted into an incomprehensible and chilling "language of birds." And it is Consuelo who must decide: Will she fulfill the expectations of her family and her culture? Or will she risk become "la fulana," the outsider, redefining herself on her own terms and creating a new language of survival all her own?

Industry reviews
"Perfect for girls growing out of YA titles, and adults will also savor this lovely coming-of-age tale for its elegant language and nuanced but definite judgments about manners and morals."
Kirkus Reviews  (09/15/2003)
