"Playing With Light" is a wonderful novel set in the modern back drop of the lives of YUCA's in Miami. Rebecca, the main character, decides to lead a tertulia on Fridays at her house, an old Cuban book reading held outside by women. As she plans to gather her old friends, memories of growing up Cuban in Miami flood her mind and mingle with the lives of the characters in the book they choose. Written in a super charged Spanglish, often in chain of thought fashion. Beatriz Rivera has created a delicious book that is sure to be inlcuded in Hispanic literature classes.
