Night of the Radishes is a novel by the author Sandra Benítez, a half Puerto Rican, half Caucasian woman who grew up in Mexico. This multiculturalism is evident in Night of the Radishes, which takes place in both Mexico and Minnesota, and it is this multiculturalism that originally attracted me to the story. I started reading this book a year or so ago but I never really got into the story. This time it was much easier; it only took me two days to finish.
