of the year' Rene Denfeld Carmen and Grace have been inseparable
since they were little girls – more like sisters than cousins,
survivors of a childhood marked by neglect and addiction. For too
long, all they had was each other. That is, until Doña Durka swept
into their lives and changed everything, taking Grace into her home
and playing an outsize role in Carmen’s upbringing too. But Durka
is more than a beneficent force in their Bronx neighbourhood.
She’s also the leader of an underground drug empire, a
larger-than-life matriarch who understands the importance of taking
what power she can in a world too often ruled by violent men. So
when Durka dies suddenly, Carmen and Grace’s lives are thrown
into chaos. Grace has been primed to take over and has grand plans
to expand the business, but Carmen is ready to move on – from
Durka’s shadow, and from always looking over her shoulder in
fear. As tough and tender as its main characters, Carmen and Grace
is a devastatingly wise and intimate story about the bonds of
female friendship, ambition and found family.
