Summary:  "An enchanting story about a writer remembering her short time in Paris and her reflections on friendships, relationships, and her younger self in a beautiful dual-language edition. Paris has long been romanticized as the city of light. A city with a vibrant literary and artistic expatriate community. Corina--nicknamed Puffina--is a young writer hoping to find that idealized community, but when her money runs out sooner than expected, she finds a network of artists simply trying to find work, make rent, and make Paris home. Years later, when a letter from her friend Martita resurfaces, Corina finds herself older and with enough distance to articulate her time in Paris. While Paris did not bring her the affirmation she was looking for as a writer, Corina finds an emotional connection to her friend that transcends space and time and demonstrates that we are most honest in our writing. Told with intimacy and tenderness, Martita, I Remember You is Sandra Cisneros at her best"--Provided by publisher. "De joven, Corina deja a su familia mexicana en Chicago para perseguir su sueño de convertirse en escritora en los cafés de París. En cambio, en su breve tiempo en la Ciudad de la Luz, se lo pasa quedándose sin dinero y haciendo fila con otros inmigrantes para llamar a casa desde un teléfono público defectuoso. Pero esos meses relacionándose con artistias pobres en el metro, durmiendo en apartamentos abarrotados y bailando tango en fiestas clandestinas dejan una huella gracias a su intensa amistad con Martita y Paola. Al pasar los años, las tres mujeres se disperan por tres continentes, olvidándose y perdiedo el contacto, hasta que una carta encontrada en una gaveta trae de vuelta los días de Corina en París con una inmediatez impresionante." -- book cover.
