Noise of infinite longing, the

Writing with great honesty and lyrical prose, Luisita Lopez Torregrosa gives us an incandescent memoir exploring the meaning of family connections and what happens to them as we grow up. The Noise of Infinite Longing is about a Puerto Rican family, its origins, its place in society, its illusions, and, finally, what happened when the family dispersed, its members moving in different directions. It is a story unlike any others about the passage of Puerto Ricans and other Latin Americans to countries not their own. But it is, in every sense, a universal story - of personal and cultural roots that are too strong to be completely severed, and of the passionate and anguished search for what we call home.
