Dique Dominican

Kirkus Reviews calls DIQUE DOMINICAN, “A brutally raw, poignant, and literary coming-of-age memoir.”

Dique Dominican is the powerful debut memoir from Ayendy Bonifacio, born "near a mango-steepled, river-scented town" in the Dominican Republic and raised in Brooklyn after migrating as a child. With lyrical precision and emotional honesty, Bonifacio reflects on the immigrant experience, identity, language, and belonging.
