In María Ruiz de Burton’s novel ‘Who Would Have Thought It?’, readers are taken on a journey that delves into complex themes such as race, class, and gender in 19th century America. Written in a satirical style similar to works by Mark Twain, Ruiz de Burton’s novel challenges societal norms and offers a critical perspective on the era. The book’s vivid characters and intricate plot provide a compelling narrative that keeps readers engaged from beginning to end. Positioned within the literary context of early American realism, ‘Who Would Have Thought It?’ stands out as a groundbreaking work that sheds light on the struggles faced by marginalized groups in a rapidly changing society. Through her sophisticated prose and sharp wit, Ruiz de Burton invites readers to reconsider their perceptions of power, privilege, and identity. María Ruiz de Burton, a Mexican-American writer living in California during the mid-1800s, drew inspiration from her own experiences as a woman of mixed heritage to pen this groundbreaking novel. As one of the first Mexican-American authors to gain recognition in the literary world, Ruiz de Burton’s unique perspective adds depth and authenticity to her portrayal of American society. I highly recommend ‘Who Would Have Thought It?’ to readers interested in exploring the intersection of race, class, and gender in historical fiction. Ruiz de Burton’s insightful commentary and compelling storytelling make this novel a must-read for those seeking to broaden their understanding of America’s complex past.
