Description

 							
  
  When Lizet-the daughter of
Cuban immigrants and the first in her family to graduate from high school-secretly applies and is accepted to an
ultra-elite college, her parents are furious at her decision to leave Miami. Just weeks before she's set to start
school, her parents divorce and her father sells her childhood home, leaving Lizet, her mother, and Leidy-Lizet's older
sister, a brand-new single mom-without a steady income and scrambling for a place to live.
  
  Amidst this
turmoil, Lizet begins her first semester at Rawlings College, distracted by both the exciting and difficult moments of
freshman year. But the privileged world of the campus feels utterly foreign, as does her new awareness of herself as a
minority. Struggling both socially and academically, she returns to Miami for a surprise Thanksgiving visit, only to be
overshadowed by the arrival of Ariel Hernandez, a young boy whose mother died fleeing with him from Cuba on a raft. The
ensuing immigration battle puts Miami in a glaring spotlight, captivating the nation and entangling Lizet's entire
family, especially her mother.
  
  Pulled between life at college and the needs of those she loves, Lizet is
faced with difficult decisions that will change her life forever. Urgent and mordantly funny, Make Your Home Among
Strangers tells the moving story of a young woman torn between generational, cultural, and political forces; it's the
new story of what it means to be American today.
  
  PRAISE
  Jennine Capó Crucet's smart,
scathing, and hilarious depiction of a Cuban-American girl at a fancy northeastern university is set in 1999 - and
involves and Elián González-inspired subplot - but its incisive take on race and class makes it both urgently
of-the-moment and destined to be a classic. - Curtis Sittenfeld, Vanity Fair
  
  Few [debut novels] are as
furious, funny, or thorny as this one... Crucet captures the vernacular of Lizet's world at home and the unbearable
alienation in her campus life with a realness that's hard to forget. - Entertainment Weekly
  Superb... Crucet
expertly summons the wrenching disconnect between immigrant parents and their offspring... With this personal
coming-of-age novel, Crucet offers us a piercing window into what it means to grow up. - Miami Herald
  
  If
you've ever felt out of your depth, you'll instantly connect with Lizet Ramirez, the protagonist of the new novel Make
Your Home Among Strangers ... Her eye-opening year will encourage you to replace other people's expectations of you with
your own. - Redbook
  
  Jennine Capó Crucet renders this coming-of-age story with dazzling élan, full
of moment both bittersweet and messy, heartfelt and honest. This is the type of debut novel that leaves you wanting more
- in a good way. I can't wait to see what Crucet does next. - Buzzfeed
  
  In her remarkable debut, Jennine
Capó Crucet writes authentically about the experience of being Cuban-American on a macro scale, but also about the
smaller heartaches of embarking on adulthood far from home. - Bustle
  
  In this dazzling debut novel, a
young female protagonist is also caught between the impulse to define herself independently of her family's past and the
pressure to never stray far from home and its bittersweet cultural values. - NBC Latino
  
  A classic coming
of age tale... It's a playful and touching look at Miami and the lives that are lived in it, and it's definitely worth
reading. Crucet just might be the literary voice that the Magic City has been waiting for. - Miami New Times
  
  A brilliantly crafted, sumptuous tale. - Booklist, starred review
  A thrilling, deeply fulfilling journey of a
young woman stepping into her own power. This debut novel from Crucet heralds the birth of a talented novelist to watch.
- Kirkus, starred review
  
  A gripping, touching story - Adelle Waldman, Harper's Bazaar
  This
coming-of-age story achieves a wry and wistful tone. Debut novelist Crucet depicts with insight and subtlety the culture
shock, confusion, guilt, and humiliations of the first-generation college student surrounded by privilege. - Library
Journal
  
  Jennine Capó Crucet's sharply observed first novel captures the profound disorientation of
leaving the world that reared you: once you have made your home among strangers, home itself often transforms into a
strange place. Recounted with wry humor and heartbreaking honesty, Lizet's struggle is a poignant exploration of a young
woman's evolving relationship to her culture, her family, and her own identity. - Celeste Ng, author of Everything I
Never Told You
  
  Make Your Home Among Strangers is a vivid, exuberant novel begging to devoured in one
sitting. Hilarious and relentlessly honest, our narrator Lizet is the embodiment of the guilt, anger, and chronic
homesickness so often the side effects of being educated away from who you once were. Hers is an utterly American story,
yet one hardly told, and Jennine Capó Crucet tells it with a combination of wisdom and urgency that is as rare as it
is invigorating. - Claire Vaye Watkins, author of Battleborn
  
  Anyone who has read Jennine Capó Crucet's
story collection, How to Leave Hialeah, knows that she is a wonderful writer. Still, I was unprepared for the power of
her debut novel, Make Your Home Among Strangers, which I found wise and honest, a love letter to Miami that doubles as a
furious and funny manifesto about cultural and familial expectations. - Lauren Groff, author of The Monsters of
Templeton and Arcadia
  
  Make Your Home Among Strangers is a gorgeous, sad, and poignantly hysterical
exploration of what it means to be homesick for a place that doesn't exist. As Lizet moves between experiences of
displacement and recreates the story of who she is over and over again, she is both pulled away from the friends and
family who no longer recognize her day to day life, and drawn into a closer understanding of what it has meant for each
of the people she loves to define the trajectory of how they got from the places they started to the places they find
themselves. Crucet is a distinct and important voice, and this novel is both a profound pleasure to read and a painful
reminder of the real human costs of living in two places at once. - Danielle Evans, author of Before You Suffocate Your
Own Fool Self, winner of the 2011 PEN American Robert W. Bingham Prize
  
  Crucet's first novel is a
masterpiece of contemporary fiction that dramatizes the intersection of race, class, geography, and education and shows
the effects of being American on the human heart. Crucet manages the layers of self and emotion of her characters with
wisdom and intelligence to create a commanding, urgent coming-of-age story. First class work. - David Treuer, author of
Rez Life: An Indian's Journey Through Reservation Life and Little
  
  Crucet brilliantly brings to life the
experience of a first-generation college student navigating an all-too-realistic elite school in an age where diversity
initiatives do little to offset the air of privilege that permeates its halls, customs and--especially--its dormitories.
Lizet is a heroine who is not only thoroughly believable but one we can't help but root for. - Adelle Waldman, author of
The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P.
