pickA collection of snapshots of life for Mexican American and Pilipino Americans in mostly Galveston Texas, this novel moves between characters to weave a community. The way the story built then receded felt rather like a hurricane, inevitable and uncertain at the same time.
It‘s a low pick for me, only because the number of characters made it hard to feel close to any, though elder Magdalena was my favorite.
With one of my first Passion Flowers 🌸

JenniferEgnor Are these your passion flowers? 1y
Soubhiville @JenniferEgnor yes it‘s the first time I‘ve ever grown them. 🙂 1y
Cinfhen Beautiful flowers and lovely review!! I‘m still on the fence about this book…#MaybeSomeday 1y
JenniferEgnor I‘ve always loved them and started to grow my first years ago. When we moved in 2019, I found another, even more beautiful than the one I‘d grown before, with a deep royal purple. It has since spread and new vines pop up everywhere. The first time I ever saw a passion flower, was in a sun flower field—and it was the fruit bearing variety! Happy gardening🌱 1y
