Cross-Stitch Design and The Other Black GirlA debut novel of female friendship and coming of age from Jazmina Barrera, acclaimed author of Linea Nigra and On Lighthouses, translated by Christina MacSweeney. It was meant to be the trip of a lifetime. Mila, Citlali, and Dalia, childhood friends now college aged, leave Mexico City for the London of The Clash and the Paris of Courbet. They anticipate the cafs and crushes, but not the early signs that they are each steadily, inevitably changing.
