From International Latino Book Award-winning author Ann Davila
Cardinal comes a gorgeously written family saga about a Puerto
Rican teenager who finds herself gifted (or cursed?) with a strange
ability. There was always an old woman dying in the back room of
her family's house when Isla was a child... Isla 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. When 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. At
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.
