Creciendo en RepuÌblica Dominicana, y luego al migrar a Nueva York, las hermanas Flor, Matilde, Pastora y Camila aprendieron a valerse de ellos, y de la fuerza de su viÌnculo, para protegerse de las hostilidades del mundo. Pero tambieÌn, a callarse sus deseos, temores y anhelos maÌs profundos. Por eso, cuando Flor anuncia que va a celebrar un velorio en vida, el matriarcado se conmociona: su don es predecir la muerte, pero ella se niega a admitir si ha llegado su hora. O la de alguien maÌs. SabiduriÌa familiar sigue a las Marte a traveÌs de este periÌodo liminal, mientras se preparan para el velorio de Flor y lo que vendraÌ despueÌs. Con excepcional maestriÌa, y su inconfundible y deslumbrante voz poeÌtica, Elizabeth Acevedo teje la epopeya de las Marte: una familia sinigual que, como cualquier otra, deberaÌ romper el conjuro del silencio para empezar a escribir su futuro."--Page 4 of cover. 520 $a "Sisters Matilde, Pastora, Camila, and Flor thought they knew each other well, until Flor-inspired by a documentary her daughter Ona made her watch-decides she wants a living wake, a party to bring her family and community together and celebrate the long life she's led, while she's still around to enjoy it. She's not ill, as far as anybody knows, but Flor does have a gift: she can predict, to the day, when someone will die. Has she foreseen her own death, or someone else's, or does she have other motives? She refuses to say. But Flor isn't the only person with secrets. Matilde has tried for decades to cover the extent of her husband's infidelity, but she now must confront the true state of her marriage. Pastora is typically the most reserved sister, but Flor's wake motivates this driven woman to attempt to solve her sibling's problems. And the next generation, cousins Ona and Yadi, face tumult of their own: Yadi, reuniting with her first love, who was imprisoned when they were both still kids; and Ona, married for years and attempting to conceive. Ona must decide whether it's worth it to keep trying-in having a child, and in the anthropology research that's begun to feel lackluster. Spanning the three days prior to the wake, FAMILY LORE traces the lives of each of the Marte women, weaving together past and present, the Dominican Republic and New York City. Told with Elizabeth Acevedo's inimitable voice, this is an indelible portrait of sisters and cousins, aunts and nieces - one family's journey through their history helping them better navigate all that is to come"-- $c Provided by publisher of English edition. 546 $a En espąol, traducido del inglÌs = In Spanish, translated from the English. 650 0 $a Familias $v Novela. 650 0 $a Primos $v Novela. 650 0 $a Muerte $v Novela. 650 0 $a Magia $v Novela. 650 0 $a Pron̤stico $v Novela. 650 0 $a Families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Dominican Americans $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Wake services $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Psychic ability $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Cousins $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Death $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Magic $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Forecasting $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Secrecy $v Fiction. 651 0 $a New York (N.Y.) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Domestic fiction. 650 0 $a Magic realist fiction. 700 1 $a Antigua, Kianny N., $e translator. 941 $a 4 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409045134.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20240409011215.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240127012433.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20231202013753.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=216C3E5C90E311EEA8442A1A39ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
