Show Notes
Three narrators portray the viewpoints of uncommon women leading full, magical lives in Elizabeth Acevedo’s first novel for adults. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Kendra Winchester discuss this story of Flor, an older Dominican American woman who decides to throw herself a living wake. One of four sisters, Flor dreams about when people are going to die. Author Acevedo narrates the majority of the novel; her poignant turns of phrase and delivery in English and Spanish provide a musical listening experience. Sixta Morel portrays the four sisters’ passions and gifts, while Danyeli Rodriguez del Orbe portrays the youthful Yadi.
