“how to exorcise a story that had never been told”
this is a book for people who need to write in order to exist
it is about immigrant experience, family hood and how the lives of our ancestors influence on our own lives, aka intergenerational transmission
the story is from different perspectives (past/present) with four main threads that converge and diverge within the story; julia alvarez bring all those threads together in a coherent and smoothly way
overall I really enjoyed this book, I would say that perhaps the audiobook is not the best way to consume this story, I recommend the physical book (even if the audio is great)
thank you netgalley for the copy
