The once grand mansion, furnished with exotic objects and art that reflected the cultures of their English father and Spanish mother, once bustled with visitors. But since their father's death, all three sisters have been reluctant to go back, still feeling the weight of his domineering influence. Julia believes that before the house can sell, it needs to be cleared of negative energy, and she has planned a limpieza, or cleaning ritual. Marion, the oldest, fears what the ceremony might unleash. Anna, the youngest and most capable and ambitious of the trio, is skeptical of the Cuban santera hired by Julia. Still, she is wary of antagonizing her siblings, or of stirring up old resentment. But as the ceremony progresses, guilt and recrimination become impossible to ignore. And if there's a chance of bringing their house and their lives out of the shadows, it rests in the sisterhood, strength, and indomitable love that remains when the ghosts of the past surrender at last."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Sisters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Fathers $x Death $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Homecoming $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Inheritance and succession $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Funeral rites and ceremonies $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Madrid (Spain) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20210902012944.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=353E184E346E11EB831ACDE824ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
