About García Girls
Julia Alvarez's How the García Girls Lost Their Accents (1991) follows the four García sisters — Carla, Sandra, Yolanda, and Sofía — and their family, who flee the Dominican Republic in 1960 after their father's involvement in a plot against the Trujillo dictatorship and settle in New York. Told in reverse chronology across sixteen linked stories, it is one of the founding texts of Latina literature in the United States.
