Critical Reviews

"A rich, challenging narrative that rewards the reader with insight to the passions and torments that drive the characters.""€" -- n/a "Belles Lettres"

"All of the stories in The Moths deal with female characters of different ages whose lives are limited by the patriarchy of the Latino society and imposition of religious values which support the dominance of men over the lives of the women." -- n/a "The Santa Barbara Press News"
