About this listen
La inigualable Julia Alvarez, autora de En el tiempo de las mariposas y De cómo las muchachas García perdieron el acento, regresa con una extraordinaria e íntima novela que nos recuerda que las historias de vida jamás están realmente acabadas. Ni siquiera cuando llega el final.
**Uno de los libros más esperados del año según el New York Times, Washington Post, Today.com, Goodreads, Literary Hub, BookPage, BBC.com, and Zibby Mag**
Alma Cruz ha decidido ponerle punto final a su carrera de escritora, pero teme acabar como su amiga, una exitosa novelista arrastrada a la locura por un libro que jamás terminó de escribir. Por eso, cuando hereda un modesto terreno en República Dominicana, se le ocurre sepultar allí sus decenas de manuscritos inconclusos. Quiere que descansen en paz en la misma tierra donde yacen sus raíces.
Pero a diferencia de Alma, los protagonistas de sus relatos aún tienen mucho por decir, y encuentran en Filomena, la reservada cuidadora del cementerio, una interlocutora empática y atenta. Al compartir sus historiasBienvenida, la exesposa olvidada del dictador Rafael Trujillo; Manuel Cruz, un médico exiliado durante el régimen, y la misma Filomena convertirán el cementerio en un lugar mágico.Un santuario donde quienes han sido silenciados hallarán el sentido que anhelan en la vitalidad imperecedera de los cuentos que aún quedan por contar.
Y colorín colorado...
——
Literary icon Julia Alvarez, bestselling author of In the Time of the Butterflies, shares an inventive and emotional novel about storytelling and her homeland—the Dominican Republic—that Kirkus Reviews calls a ""rich and moving saga"" and Shelf Awareness calls ""a lyrical thought-provoking meditation on truth, complicated family narratives, and the question of whose stories get told.""
**Named a Most Anticipated Book of the Year by the New York Times, Washington Post, Today.com, Goodreads, Literary Hub, BookPage, BBC.com, and Zibby Mag**
Alma Cruz has decided to end her writing career, but she fears she'll end up like her friend, a successful novelist driven to madness by a book she never finished writing. So when she inherits a modest plot of land in the Dominican Republic, she decides to bury her dozens of unfinished manuscripts there. She wants them to rest in peace in the same land where her roots are.
But unlike Alma, the protagonists of her stories still have plenty to say, and they find in Filomena, the reserved caretaker of the cemetery, an empathetic and attentive interlocutor. By sharing their stories, Bienvenida, the forgotten ex-wife of dictator Rafael Trujillo; Manuel Cruz, a doctor exiled during the regime, and Filomena herself will turn the cemetery into a magical place, a sanctuary where those who have been silenced will find the meaning they yearn for in the imperishable vitality of the untold stories.
Y colorín colorado...

Me ha gustado mucho el desapego de Alma al momento de la distribución de la herencia
Ha sido muy original y entretenido. Me encantan las novelas de nuestra escritora Dominicana que se ha desarrollado en USA.. Desde el primer libro que leí de su autora sobre las Hermanas Mirabal, he disfrutado de varios de los suyos, como Una boda en Haití, y otros que no recuerdo. Este me ha fascinado.

Enjoyed the stories and their presentation very very much did you say?
Es una novela muy creativa y una forma excelente de entrelazar, historias de dominicanos de inmigración y la realidad en República Dominicana en el momento histórico, dado entrelazando la ficción con la realidad

Me hizo pensar en mi familia materna
Muy bueno, remueve emociones y tiene pasajes cómicos así como tramos realmente tristes y terribles. La narración lo hace con tal calma y cadencia que escuchar se vuelve un deleite de tiempos antiguos.
