Reviews
"Written with an honesty and compassion that is lacking in our time, "Their Dogs Came with Them" illuminates a people and place where hopes arise and are defeated, only to arise again. With elegance and poetic precision, Helena Mari a Viramontes has captured a humanity that will not stay down, no matter what the odds. Like the characters in this novel, her prose is a warm breath of the real thing." -- Ernesto Quin onez, author of "Chango's Fire", "Helena Mari a Viramontes's power is in her heartfelt observations about the forgotten poor. Not simply the poor, I mean the despised and reviled: the homeless, the immigrant, the cholas and cholos. This novel takes flight in its accurate portrayal of its characters' language and landscape. She is as compassionate as John Steinbeck, as sweeping as the unflinching camera of Sebastia o Salgado." -- Sandra Cisneros, author of "Caramelo" and "The House on Mango Street", "Helena Maria Viramontes's power is in her heartfelt observations about the forgotten poor. Not simply the poor, I mean the despised and reviled: the homeless, the immigrant, the cholas and cholos. This novel takes flight in its accurate portrayal of its characters' language and landscape.

I hope you, too, will feel the enthusiasm and faith in her work that I do."-- Julia Alvarez, "Helena María Viramontes's power is in her heartfelt observations about the forgotten poor.
