"Coral Pena's strong delivery is a breath of fresh air...a master of accents and emotion, bringing genuine pathos to the story." (AudioFile Magazine, Earphones Award winner)

Fifteen-year-old Ana Cancion never dreamed of moving to America, the way the girls she grew up with in the Dominican countryside did. But when Juan Ruiz proposes and promises to take her to New York City, she has to say yes. It doesn’t matter that he is twice her age, that there is no love between them. Their marriage is an opportunity for her entire close-knit family to eventually immigrate. So on New Year’s Day, 1965, Ana leaves behind everything she knows and becomes Ana Ruiz, a wife confined to a cold six-floor walk-up in Washington Heights. Lonely and miserable, Ana hatches a reckless plan to escape. But at the bus terminal, she is stopped by Cesar, Juan’s free-spirited younger brother, who convinces her to stay.

As the Dominican Republic slides into political turmoil, Juan returns to protect his family’s assets, leaving Cesar to take care of Ana. Suddenly, Ana is free to take English lessons at a local church, lie on the beach at Coney Island, see a movie at Radio City Music Hall, go dancing with Cesar, and imagine the possibility of a different kind of life in America. When Juan returns, Ana must decide once again between her heart and her duty to her family.

In bright, musical prose that reflects the energy of New York City, Angie Cruz's Dominicana is a vital portrait of the immigrant experience and the timeless coming-of-age story of a young woman finding her voice in the world.

Praise for Dominicana:

"Through a novel with so much depth, beauty, and grace, we, like Ana, are forever changed." (Jacqueline Woodson, Vanity Fair)

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Coral Pena's strong delivery is a breath of fresh air - her depiction of Ana blends confidence and naïveté as the protagonist makes her way from her home in the Dominican Republic to New York, from a simple life to a complicated one. Pena is a master of accents and emotion, bringing genuine pathos to the story. At times, her pace quickens precipitously, but the overall impact of her elegant narrative is appealing." (AudioFile Earphone Award)

"Lovely... Compelling... An intimate portrait of the transactional nature of marriage and the economics of both womanhood and citizenship, one all too familiar to many first-generation Americans." (The New York Times Book Review)

"Through a novel with so much depth, beauty, and grace, we, like Ana, are forever changed." (Jacqueline Woodson, Vanity Fair)

Dominicana is a great story that tells the Dominican immigrant story of the 60s masterfully.

Representation is important

I love how Angie so stubbornly places the reader in three geographical and emotional contexts: the Dominican Republic of 1965, the New York of 1965 and Dominican Republic in New York or the Dominican-York fusion. I saw the whole movie in my head and only because of Angie’s ability to describe so elegantly, precise, touching. Far from tiring, these descriptive journey helped me connect with each character. I hated Juan a little too much, a little less at times. I was proud of Ana. I loved César. I revisited my history, learned a lot as well. Coral’s job is amazing! Her voice, so suitable. Thank you Coral for an excellent performance. Thank you Angie for this vivid, colorful, history-fiction-permeated portrait of nuestra dominicanidad.

A perfect portrait.

This book was excellent! The true story about the Dominican immigrant experience is described so accurately. I feel like the characters were people I knew as a kid. As a daughter of Dominican immigrants that arrived around late 60s/early 70s, it makes me appreciate the sacrifices they made so people like this author and myself have opportunities they didn't.

Vivid Immigrant Experience

I love the story line. It name parts of the Dominican Republic that I know and from where my family is from. In the New York setting, I could see myself as a little girl walking the area with my mom and the landmarks so clearly.
The story sad and so true. I think it was well written.

My first audiobook

Thankful for Dominican writers like Angie Cruz for writing on the immigrant experience. For the vivid descriptions, the rich character development, as a Dominican I literally felt like I was watching the story unfold! Must read.

Beautiful depiction of the Dominican immigrant experience

I wish it was a little longer I felt like the end was a little cliffhanger

Great book reminded me of my mothers life story and this made me envision their parallel lives

This gave a full range of emotion. I had so much hope for Anna, but could tell all would not be well. Juan is a complicated character who, at first, does not seem good or bad. This story shows the sacrifices people make and the debts we often feel we owe to our families. It was interesting to see people struggle between being opportunists and family, choosing between human desires and the most basic needs. The short author interview at the end was nice to bring context.

Ups and lots more downs in a great book
