The Fourteen Sisters of Emilio Montez O'Brien

“A beautiful pastorale, loosely based on the idea of the limited text implied by photographs, in which the lives of 17 characters are developed … Hijuelos composes women’s stories with a loving hand.”–Library Journal
“A marvelous novel…[Hijuelos’s] range is impressive, his storytelling fluid…his scope exuberant and full of life.”–San Francisco Chronicle
“Exuberant, richly detailed.”–The New Yorker
“Matchless, soaring prose.”–Publishers Weekly
“Nobody writes about sensuality, nostalgia and matters of the heart more exuberantly than Oscar Hijuelos.”–Chicago Tribune
“One finishes The Fourteen Sisters reluctantly, the way one finishes a long letter from a beloved family member…” –New York Times
