Flor has a gift: she can predict, to the day, when someone will die. 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? 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 now must confront the true state of her marriage. Pastora is typically the most reserved sister, but Flor's wake motivates this driven woman to attempt to solve her sibling's problems. Camila is the youngest sibling, often the forgotten one, but she's decided she no longer wants to be taken for granted. And the next generation, cousins Ona and Yadi, face tumult of their own: Yadi, reuniting with her first love, who was imprisoned when they were both still kids; and Ona, married for years and attempting to conceive. 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. Told with Elizabeth Acevedo's inimitable and incandescent voice, this is an indelible portrait of sisters and cousins, aunts and nieces - one family's journey through their history helping them better navigate all that is to come. マジックリアリズム 世界文学 大衆小説 家庭生活 歴史小説

批評家のレビュー

Flor is throwing herself a wake and reminding us that "even a long life is too short". So while we are here "let's eat, and dance, and be alive". Acevedo has written unforgettable characters who breathe new life into how we grieve, age, take care of each other. Family Lore is big hearted novel, a wonderful debut! (ANGIE CRUZ, author of DOMINICANA)
Family Lore is a sweeping multi-generational story of a family of women whose special powers have helped them overcome personal, familial and historical challenges that both bond them together and at times threaten to pull them apart but ultimately navigate them into the full abrazos of love. Acevedo is in full command of her special powers as a storyteller of compassionate, capacious and lyrical imagination. Make room on your shelves, readers, for this strong new voice with an old soul and a deep well of understanding of who we wonderfully are for the brief time we are beings (JULIA ALVAREZ, author of AFTERLIFE)
Family Lore is a deeply Dominican book, full of raw emotional power. It is at once intimate and epic, one of the most resonant representations of a family and world like my own that I've ever read. There is so much to love about this wise, funny and original novel (NAIMA COSTER, author of WHAT'S MINE AND YOURS)
Only Elizabeth Acevedo could make an epic feel so intimate, so perfectly crafted and tightly drawn. Family Lore is a devastating exploration of the liveliness of the Marte women. No writer on earth transforms a page into a home with distinct emotional chambers like Acevedo, and here she does it with language that is equally lush and lacerating. This is how stories should be made (KIESE LAYMON, author of LONG DIVISION AND HEAVY)
Praise for Clap When You Land: Eloquent, moving and suspensful
This exceptionally talented writer portrays the grief and aspirations of two very different girls with great empathy and insight
Transporting and powerful
A powerfully tender story about cultural identity, family secrets and sisterhood - I adored Acevedo's pitch-perfect, poetic prose (JASBINDER BILAN, author of Costa Award-winning ASHA)
An impressive and moving read
[An] unforgettable portrait of grief, loss and forgiveness
