The Mixquiahuala Letters Review: "expression of nostalgia and melancholy for the depth of our empathy..." - It baffles me how this can have any negative reviews. This book is perfect. It examines literally everything feminist and chicana.. it's amazing! It does have a "chose your own story" concept, and I read each one of the options and they all tell a different story. but you also HAVE to read it all the way through.. there are some letters that none of the 3 options include. This book examines the "la virgen/ la puta" aspect women face and so many controversial things that everyone can relate to, I thought this book was phenomenal. And if you have an interest in feminist or chicana literature you need to read this. Review: Amazing! - This book is amazing! Castillo really has a way of transporting you through her letters. I read this for an English class and couldn't of been happier! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,221,202 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #891 in Hispanic American Literature & Fiction #10,457 in Contemporary Literature & Fiction #35,037 in Literary Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (54) | | Dimensions | 5.19 x 0.33 x 8 inches | | ISBN-10 | 0385420137 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0385420136 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 144 pages | | Publication date | March 18, 1992 | | Publisher | Bilingual Review Press | ## Images ![The Mixquiahuala Letters - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71-iH2GPMVL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "expression of nostalgia and melancholy for the depth of our empathy..." *by E***A on September 3, 2015* It baffles me how this can have any negative reviews.

Castillo really has a way of transporting you through her letters. I read this for an English class and couldn't of been happier! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Engaging, if a bit difficult to follow *by K***S on February 18, 2019* I love that this book tackles issues relating to race, nationality, and gender, through its main characters and setting. The narrator of the novel, Teresa, is a woman of Mexican heritage and modest upbringing, and is contrasted with the woman to whom she writes her letters, Alicia. Alicia is lighter skinned and of Spanish ancestry, and her family is from an upper-middle-class background. This contrast between the characters allows the reader insight into the privileges and disadvantages that exist around racial and ethnic backgrounds as well as class statuses. In conjunction with the race and class discussion, the novel also highlights the experiences of women in the US as well as Mexico. This combination leads to a compelling story of two women in a world that is often dangerous and unfriendly to them. However, the epistolary format, with the option to read the letters in different orders, necessitates that the letters are a bit ambiguous at points. For me, this made it difficult to discern a firm plot and made the book feel a little rhythm-less. That said, I personally prefer books that are more linear, while someone who enjoys putting together the pieces of a story would likely not have an issue with the format. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/11038445-the-mixquiahuala-letters](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/11038445-the-mixquiahuala-letters) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
