Welcome to Litsy!

I love magical realism, but this book had several missteps that were hard for me to get past. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Since I‘d already read the book for April‘s book club, I decided to read this runner-up instead. Magical realism isn‘t usually a fictional aspect that I enjoy, but I loved the premise of an author burying her creations to put them to rest… and yet to have their whispers still filter back in. The threads of the stories connected more than expected but some of the transitions in the audio format were harder to follow. Physical reading may be better!

This book is an example of why we should, most definitely, read outside our comfort zones and moods. Read my full review here: https://debbybrauer.org/#the-cemetery-of-untold-stories

Publication day was April 2.

I‘d forgotten how much Julia Alvarez‘s writing feeds my soul!

I loved the story, this cemetery that could possibly exist, the stories that could‘ve easily been the family stories I‘ve heard from my own Mami and Tíos.

The descriptions of DR in the present day are so accurate that it sometimes felt like I was reading a passage about my day. And her writing? Beautiful!
