Thematically linked by the lives of women, especially Latinas, and their experiences of poverty and violence in a white-dominated, wealth-obsessed culture, How Winter Began is a delicately wrought collection of stories. The question at the heart of this riveting book is how or whether to trust one another after the rupture of betrayal.
Reviews / Votes
"To read Joy Castro's stories is to witness the world as beautiful and horrible, light and dark, and to see people who are both lovely and ugly. Joy Castro will hold your heart."-NatalieSypolt, Los Angeles Review "With these stories, Castro lulls the reader with beautiful, exquisitely crafted sentences. But before we realize it, she reveals the dark contours of her characters' lives-lives that are often desperate and broken, but not without hope for something better."-Daniel A. Olivas, El Paso Times "These stories by Joy Castro ask us to notice the invisible: a small boy, the "girl" polishing our silver, the older woman hosting the meeting."-Jeffrey Ann Goudie, Star Tribune "Joy Castro's writing is like watching an Acapulco cliff diver. It takes my breath away every time."-Sandra Cisneros, author of The House on Mango Street "I love the stories in How Winter Began: the taut narratives, the deft portrayal of characters who, though vulnerable, are stunning in their fierce determination. Reading, I had very physical reactions-sharp intakes of breath, stinging eyes, tightening scalp, adrenaline. It was like being gut-punched again and again, but in a very good way."-Lorraine LOpez, author of Homicide Survivors Picnic and Other StoriesMore details
