Talk:Julia Alvarez/@comment-38648441-20190226211029

I must admit I have never read a book by Julia Alvarez, but her writing style reminds me of Isabel Allende. Historical fiction my favorite genre in the fictional catergory, and her writngs including Trujullo's dictatorship makes me wonder why I hadn't read a book written by her. I wonder how much inspiration her struggles, identity and politcs, molded her into the writer she is. How could her struggles as a teen/YA be used to model creative writting to our young students?

I enjoyed reading your bio of Julia Alvarez; I want to make some time, if ever found, to sit down and enjoy her works. She has been properly recognized by the international writing community and is a shinning example for young women to write and express themselves freely. Plus, who doesnt like to read "sassy gossip?!"
