REVIEWS:
"El Nogalar provides a strikingly intimiate and welcoming bilingual context for examining social class in contemporary Mexico, paralleling the themes explores by Chekhov in The Cherry Orchard's Russia more than a century ago."
The Austin Chronicle
"El Nogalar lives both in Chekhov's world and Saracho's world where class pressure and social turmoil threatens traditional families land and lifestyle in contemporary Mexico."
Chicago Critic
"Marvelous! ... Tanya Saracho is a very detailed writer, and one who brings the Mexican flavor to her work as well as a look from the female perspective."
