Flor has a gift: she can predict the exact day someone will die. So when she announces her plans for a living wake—a party to celebrate her life—her sisters are stunned. Has Flor foreseen her own death, or someone else’s? She refuses to reveal her motives, leaving Matilde, Pastora, and Camila to grapple with their own secrets as questions swirl.
Across three days leading up to the wake, the Marte family’s intricate past and present unravel, spanning Santo Domingo and New York City. The next generation, cousins Ona and Yadi, face their own turmoil, adding another layer to the family’s rich tapestry.
Told in Elizabeth Acevedo’s luminous voice, Family Lore is a poignant and unforgettable exploration of love, secrets, and the threads that bind us across generations.
