Ms Carol Merchasin moved from the United States to the town of San Miguel de Allende in Mexico. This book, which is more like a collection of humorous essays, describes her experiences living in another country and experiencing another culture. I thought it was interesting to read as preparation for a trip to Mexico. I did actually see more and understand more as a result of reading this book. On the other hand, I am not an American, so some of the chapters were really quite incomprehensible to me, especially the part about her daughter's wedding. Also I thought she didn't go very deep, which is probably caused by the fact that she doesn't speak Spanish all too well, and remains an outsider peeking in. Compared to another book I just read by a Dutch journalist about her experiences living in Mexico, this one safely stays away from politics and the raw edges of Mexican society. However, it was an enjoyable read overall. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
This Is Mexico is a collection of essays on the often magical and mysterious--and sometimes heartrending--workings of everyday life in Mexico, written from the perspective of an American expatriate. By turns humorous and poignant, Merchasin provides an informed look at Mexican culture and history, exploring everything from healthcare, Mexican-style, to religious rituals; from the educational role of the telenovela to the cultural subtleties of the Spanish language. Written with a clear eye for details, a warm heart for Mexico, and a lively sense of humor, This Is Mexico is an insider's look at the joys, sorrows, and challenges of life in this complex country.
