Line Sun
Can someone summarize the book entitled "The Line of The Sun" by Judith Ortiz Coffer?
I need someone to help me summarize the book The Line of The Sun. I think it's a complicated book to understand.

From Publishers Weekly
Puerto Rican emigres try to adapt to life in the U.S. while maintaining island culture in a Spanish-speaking tenement. ``Though weakened by clumsy plotting, arbitrary shifts in points of view and sometimes pedestrian prose . . . Cofer's novel paints a colorful, revealing portrait of Puerto Rican culture and domestic relationships,'' said PW.

From Library Journal
This first novel by an accomplished poet flavors the U.S. immigrant experience with a hint of magical realism. The story of Guzman, black sheep of a Puerto Rican village, is here told by his assimilited niece. Adventurous from childhood, the wild youth is ostracized because of an affair with a notorious older woman whose reputation as a spiritist does not save her from the wrath of righteous neighbors. Heading for New York and the American dream, Guzman wanders for more than a decade until he confronts his island roots in a violent, resonant denouement. A shaky transition between the novel's two main sections is offset by well-realized characters and vibrant depictions of Puerto Rican folk culture. Recommended.
