The Hours Are Feminine - Paperback

In the summer of 1960, Hurricane Donna ravages the northeast, and a Puerto Rican family of three, who has never left home before, moves to rural Long Island. Evalisse, Fernán and their son Jaivín rent a dilapidated little house on the property of an old middle-class Italian named Charlie. Tensions rise between the families of old immigrants and new. This autobiographical play explores female friendship, the price of assimilation, and the American way of life with humor, tears and a final, healing reckoning.
