'Family Lore is full of beautiful prose, even-handed magic and all
the pains and triumphs of intergenerational bonds' KILEY REID,
author of Such A Fun Age The Marte women are preparing for a
gathering that will change their lives forever Flor has a gift: she
can predict, to the day, when someone will die. So when she decides
to host her own living wake - bringing together her family and
community to celebrate her long life - her sisters Matilde, Pastora
and Camila are concerned. What has she foreseen? But Flor isn't the
only one with a secret. Matilde has tried to hide the extent of her
husband's infidelity for years, and now must confront the true
state of her marriage. Pastora - always on a mission to solve her
sisters' problems - needs to come to terms with her past. And
Camila, the youngest sibling, has decided she no longer wants to be
taken for granted. Alongside their struggles, the next generation
of Marte women face their own tumult of family obligations,
infertility, and heartache. Spanning the three days prior to the
wake, Family Lore traces the intertwining stories of these sisters
and cousins, mothers and daughters, aunts and nieces, to ask the
ultimate question: what does it take to live a good life, for
yourself and those you love?
