The PEN Literary Award\u2013winning author \u201Cwrites with honesty, intelligence, tenderness, and love\u201D about her Colombian-Cuban heritage and queer identity in this poignant coming-of-age memoir (Sandra Cisneros, author of The House on Mango Street).\nIn this lyrical, coming-of-age memoir, Daisy Hern\u00E1ndez chronicles what the women in her Cuban-Colombian family taught her about love, money, and race. Her mother warns her about envidia and men who seduce you with pastries, while one t\u00EDa bemoans that her niece is turning out to be \u201Cuna india\u201D instead of an American. Another auntie instructs that when two people are close, they are bound to become like u\u00F1a y mugre, fingernails and dirt, and that no, Daisy\u2019s father is not godless. He\u2019s simply praying to a candy dish that can be traced back to Africa.\n\nA Cup of Water Under My Bed\nA Memoir\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail ;
