Enchanted Air: Two Cultures, Two Wings
By Margarita Engle
In this memoir, Engle uses poetry to tell the story of growing up with a foot in two cultures. Her mother was
Cuban while her father was American. While Engle spent most of her childhood in Los Angeles, she also frequently visited her mother's family in Cuba, an island she loves dearly. Engle is just learning to come to terms with her "dual" identity when revolution strikes Cuba. All of a sudden, Engle's two worlds collide, throwing her world in turmoil. You might like this book if you enjoy poetry and learning about the past.
