\nA beautiful book about family, memories, and the power of stories. --BuzzFeed\n \nMystical, masterful storytelling. --Ms. Magazine\n \nFrom International Latino Book Award-winning author Ann Dávila Cardinal comes a gorgeously written family saga about a Puerto Rican woman who finds herself gifted (or cursed?) with a strange ability.\n \nThere was always an old woman dying in the back room of her family's house when Isla was a child...\n \nIsla Larsen Sanchez's life begins to unravel when her father passes away. Instead of being comforted at home in New Jersey, her mother starts leaving her in Puerto Rico with her grandmother and great-aunt each summer like a piece of forgotten luggage.\n \nWhen Isla turns eighteen, her grandmother, a great storyteller, dies. It is then that Isla discovers she has a gift passed down through her family's cuentistas. The tales of dead family storytellers are brought back to life, replaying themselves over and over in front of her.\n \nAt first, Isla is enchanted by this connection to the Sanchez cuentistas. But when Isla has a vision of an old murder mystery, she realizes that if she can't solve it to make the loop end, these seemingly harmless stories could cost Isla her life.\n \nBuzzFeed's 20 Highly Anticipated Thrillers of 2022\n \nBookRiot's 15 Best New Mystery Books of 2022\n \nGoodreads' Books to Read for Hispanic Heritage Month\n \nApartment Therapy's One Book to Read in October 2022\n \nPaste Magazine's Best New Fantasy Books of October 2022\n \nBuzzFeed's Best New Books of October 2022\n \nBookRiot's Best New Mysteries, Thrillers, and True Crime of October 2022\n \nCrimeReads' Most Anticipated Books of Fall 2022\n \nThe Nerd Daily's Most Anticipated Book Releases\n \nSheReads' Best Sci-Fi & Fantasy Books Coming In 2022\n \nHasty Book List's Best Books of October\n
