How the Garcias Girls Lost Their Accents

Today we are going to talk a little bit about this novel of Julia Alvarez, she talk about "antojo" which is cravings,but what is it connotations?
The connotaion of craving is a very strong disire of something and also something and a not fulfilled promise.
The author wanted to write it in English but keep the title in Spanish because she tries to show us that she wants to keep her mother tongue,her first language,and no matter what she will do, Spanish will always be her first language, a part of her, and it will always take the first place in her mind, heart and sentiments even if she can't write in it. She also wanted to write in English because the most part of her life was in it and English take the second part and also to make sure that the  principal audience will understand her.
