- Synopsis
- From the Book: This vivid story, full of the warmth and picturesque detail of Mexico City, tells of one year in Alicia Baca's life -a very important year. Nineteen, beautiful, and with ambitions to become a newspaper correspondent, Alicia takes her Junior year away from Briggs College in the East to study in the University of Mexico. Twenty-Five Cosme, the beautiful old pension in which she stays, holds many surprises, the most wonderful being her lively, blond roommate, Honey Bennett. In Denver where she grew up, her Spanish ancestry embarrassed Alicia and made her feel inferior, but here with her flawless Spanish she helps Californian Honey through many scrapes. Leeshy herself (as Honey calls her) has a few of her own problems, in particular, two ardent young suitors who both arrive unexpectedly, and at the same moment, to spend a week during the Christmas holidays. Honey's natural candor and humor are invaluable in this difficult situation, and later on when Alicia has some serious decisions to make.. From the day when the wall caves in on them and they are trapped in an ancient teocalli or pyramid, to the time the two girls spend with the Friends' Youth Camp at Lake Chapala, their lives are full of excitement, new interests - and countless admirers. To older girls, who have snared many of Alicia's hopes, dreams, and tribulations, this novel will have special appeal.
