Family lore : a novel

Elizabeth Acevedo. Auteur

Edité par Ecco an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers - paru en 2023

Flor has a gift: she can predict, to the day, when someone will die. So when she decides she wants a living wake-a party to bring her family and community together to celebrate the long life she's led-her sisters are surprised. Has Flor forseen her own death, or someone else's? Does she have other motives? She refuses to tell her sisters, Matilde, Pastora, and Camila. But Flor isn't the only person with secrets. Matilde has tried for decades to cover the extent of her husband's infidelity, but she must now confront the true state of her marriage. Pastora is typically the most reserved sister, but Flor's wake motivates this driven woman to solve her sibling's problems. Camila is the youngest sibling, and often the forgotten one, but she's decided she no longer wants to be taken for granted. Spanning the three days prior to the wake, Family Lore traces the lives of each of the Marte women, weaving together past and present, Santo Domingo and New York City.
