I love this book, extremely entertaining! Very interesting and beautifully written, also recommend “The Poet X” by the same author.
It could be the story of many Dominican Men that emigrated to the United States in the 70 and 80th decades.
This was definitely a used book! Not new like it said it was. You can see all the stickers that were removed from the corners, edges and back of the book. There’s dates that were covered by sharpies. The front cover is bent This book was sticky over all. Sad that I’m writing this review when it’s not regarding the reading of it.
“Raw, earth-shattering, gut-wrenching, and heartbreaking,” this novel delves into the complexities of grief and the revelation of life-altering family secrets. It intertwines two stories, ones marked by the loss of a loved one and the unraveling of secrets that were not their burden to bear, while also grappling with the mounting stress of life itself. Amidst these profound losses, the characters find solace in each other, drawn together by shared grief and the unburdened weight of secrets. Healing manifests in various forms and often emerges when individuals relinquish their knowledge and place their trust in the guidance of their loved ones. The author’s prose is beautifully crafted, realistic, and emotionally resonant, transporting readers into the heart of the story. Each narrative resonates deeply, evoking a profound emotional response. The author’s exploration of the past that shapes the present and its impact on the future creates a compelling narrative that lingers in the mind long after the last page is turned. This is a truly remarkable read.
This was for my son’s class reading. It arrived just as pictured and he said it was a good book.
