Love in Translation: Letters to My Costa Rican Daughter by Katherine Stanley Oba

Description: Love in Translation by Katherine Stanley Obando, Priscilla Aguirre Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description When a Phoenix schoolteacher buys a one-way ticket to Costa Rica, she gets pretty much what she hopes for: salvation on a bus, enlightenment in a taxi, and a serendipitous romp of a reporting career. What she doesnt see coming is a decade-long affair with the countrys sly and hilarious street slang, whose wit and wisdom changes the way she sees life, love, and eventually motherhood. A delight for travel buffs, parents and linguists alike, Katherine Stanley Obandos ingenious and soulful phrasebook portrays a Costa Rica most tourists never see - and explains how whats lost in translation helped her find herself. Praise for Love in Translation "No one who loves Costa Rica should be without this delightful book - but it will also speak to anyone who has ever been far from home, or loved a child, or marveled at the power of language.

Lovingly written, with luminous joy." -Carlos Arauz, author of Costa Rica: leyendas y tradiciones "This is cross culture at its most charming." -Henrietta Boggs, Former Costa Rican First Lady, author of Married to a Legend: Don Pepe "She has taught us a valuable lesson: that our language and culture are rich and worthy of preservation. We must carry it in our souls. The pride of being Costa Rican, just the way we are." -María Mayela Padilla, National Culture Award-winning writer and folklorist Author Biography Katherine Stanley Obando is a writer, editor, translator, speechwriter and nonprofit communications specialist.
