About This Book
"When Pini was a little boy, his Cuban-American family always spoke with mistrust of a mysterious Them: the big-shot capitalists, the good old boys, the rich and the powerful."--BOOK JACKET.
"Now that he's grown into a worldly, successful adult, however, the only Them that still mystifies Pini is his own family. Especially the women; his naive sister Eloisa (with her multiple husbands); his mother and her five sisters (especially Mama Chucha, famous for her shrieking laugh and countless children); and even Grandmother, who landed in Key West in 1890 with an aristocratic upbringing and strangely little else."--BOOK JACKET.
"Pini fears that in another generation, his family's history may simply disappear, or "at best only linger like a scent after a beautiful woman has left the room." And so he determines to capture and set down their stories. From the humorous to the horrifying, here is a candid, sensitive portrayal of the changing generations of one Cuban-American family. Here is The Truth about Them."--BOOK JACKET.
