About This Item

New York, NY, U.S.A.: Farrar, Straus & Giroux, LLC, 1994. First Edition, First Printing 1st Printing. Hardcover. New/Fine. 64mo - up to 3" tall. Twice married--once divorced and once widowed--Soveida Dosamantes is a survivor. She is currently writing a handbook for waitresses called 'The Book of Service,' a compendium of lessons she has learned working for thirty years at El Farol Mexican Restaurant in the rural Southwest. Looking back on her career, Soveida comes to understand the meaning of service in her own life and the role of women in a machismo culture and in the interconnected lives of work and family. Here is a rich chorus of Latino voices and a retinue of wayward husbands and lovers. An acclaimed first novel of antic humor and sobering pain, of nachos and nourishment of every kind, FACE OF AN ANGEL straddles old worlds and new, Mexican, American, and Mexican-American, to explore one woman's acceptance of her true vocations, her true love, and ultimately, her true love. New, unread copy in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket. L33

About Joe Staats, Bookseller

Modern Literature, Mysteries, and More!
We specialize in collectible, contemporary signed first editions. First edition means the first printing. (Later printings of the first edition are typically not printed on acid-free paper, and should be avoided by collectors.) Signatures are obtained by us in person. Inscribed books sold by us may contain a line, a phrase, or a sketch that the author has chosen to add. Our signed books are not dedicated to anybody in particular (not to your grandmother, your Aunt Gladys, your ex-lover or your former cellmate), except in the rare case of a presentation copy from an author to a noteworthy person. All our books are hardcover, unless the book is an Advance Reading Copy, Uncorrected Proof, or PBO. You can expect that the books we send you will be as described, and in a physical condition worthy of the author’s having signed them. We do not sell remainder-marked books, signed or otherwise
