'Epic . . . Rambunctious . . . Highly entertaining' New York Times
'All we do, mija, is love. Love is the answer. Nothing stops it.
Not borders. Not death.' In his final days, beloved and ailing
patriarch Miguel Angel de La Cruz, affectionately called Big Angel,
has summoned his entire clan for one last legendary birthday party.
But as the party approaches, his mother, nearly one hundred, dies,
transforming the weekend into a farewell doubleheader. Among the
guests is Big Angel's half brother, known as Little Angel, who must
reckon with the truth that although he shares a father with his
siblings, he has not, as a half gringo, shared a life. Across two
bittersweet days in their San Diego neighbourhood, the revellers
mingle among the palm trees and cacti, celebrating the lives of Big
Angel and his mother, and recounting the many inspiring tales that
have passed into family lore, the acts both ordinary and heroic
that brought these citizens to a fraught and sublime country and
allowed them to flourish in the land they have come to call home.
Teeming with brilliance and humor, authentic at every turn, The
House of Broken Angels is Luis Alberto Urrea at his best, and
cements his reputation as a storyteller of the first rank.
