Tell It to Me Singing

”[A] tender and warm family story… Cuban history is deftly woven into the making of the Campo family, adding an additional layer of interest and understanding of the choices that were made.” –Southern Independent Bookseller Association“Family secrets are at the heart of this twisty read… Mónica’s Journey was complex, funny and inspiring.” –FIRST for Women

“Ramírez’s tale of family and love and political fallout truly brings the drama… a charming novel in which the Spanish flows naturally, and family affection flows warmly.” –Booklist“Riveting… As the story unfurls, Tell It to Me Singing develops into a deeply heartfelt, frequently humorous and historically germane exploration of how one family uses the combination of truth and love to heal from generational pain. A propulsive, heart-pumping and unexpected melodrama that is achingly human and bursting with love.” –Atlanta Journal Constitution“Tender and heartfelt, Tita Ramirez has knocked it out of the park with Tell It to Me Singing, a gem of a novel about an unforgettable mother and daughter duo.” –Laura Dave, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Last Thing He Told Me“The concept alone is brilliant–telenovela meets novel. The result is a book so fantastic and funny, so full of life, and so full of genuine heart that, like your favorite binge-worthy show, you’ll have trouble pulling yourself away.” –Cristina Henríquez, author of The Great Divide“Tita Ramirez’s Tell it to Me Singing is wondrous, a hilarious and wild examination of family, all the ways we struggle to understand the people who made us and who we ultimately choose to hold onto. Ramirez effortlessly moves us through the twists and turns of a plot that jumps around the globe to uncover family secrets, but what makes the novel truly sing are Mónica Campo and her mother Mirta, funny and flawed and, like this book, utterly unforgettable.” –Kevin Wilson, New York Times bestselling author of Nothing to See Here
