The Good Sister
By Chelsea Bolan
An interesting novel about a Mexican family who run a bar/restaurant on the Baja for foreign tourists. The family comes from Mexico City to the Baja to get away from the city, and become successful. However, success soon unravels as the father alienates four out of his five children, as well as his wife due to serial affairs during their marriage. The youngest daughter is banned from the family home after she is raped by her brother-in-law, and the older sister defies her father to look for her.
Interesting, as it looks at life in a resort town through the eyes of the local people, the hardships of life in Mexico City, prostitution, and what Mexicans will do to get into the U.S.
