Not García Girls Redux

By Julia Bencomo Lobaco
Summer 2008

What, me worry? (April/May 2006)

Julia Alvarez: Two Cultures, One Life (AARP Radio, April 2006)

The Writers Studio, featuring Julia Alvarez (AARP Radio, April 2006) 

No, How the Garcia Girls Spent Their Summer isn't about Julia Alvarez's García sisters. Instead of "losing their accents," these three generations of Garcias explore relationships, (re)discover sexuality, and come to grips with loneliness in a broiler of a small town.

Director Georgina Garcia Riedel's first feature movie confronts familiar multigenerational themes as we watch Blanca (America Ferrera), Lolita (Elizabeth Peña), and Doña Genoveva (Lucy Gallardo) break through physical and psychological barriers.

Be prepared for sex scenes, but also for forceful feelings of connection.
