Description

The believable characters develop and mature as the story unfolds in this tale of family and unconditional love. And she does it so gently and in such a kind manner that it’s impossible not to feel with those two girls. I feel this book is very personal to the author, which is why it struck those chords in your heart even more vividly. things that distinguish Camino and her aunt Tía from the rest of their neighborhood—things that for Yahaira, and for me, are the most normal thing in the world.

Camino lives in the DR, and she only sees her dad in the summer; she wants to go to Columbia University and become a doctor — after learning about traditional healing from her aunt/guardian.I was an undergrad, and I remember wanting to capture the joy of that moment when the plane first skids right against the runway, and you know you made it. Her constant inspiration of her dad slowly died down, and you can feel the annoyance she later had for her dad. The Poet X author Acevedo dedicates this novel in verse to the memory of the lives lost on American Airlines flight 587, the passenger flight that crashed en route to Santo Domingo from JFK on November 12, 2001.

Inspired by the very real plane crash of flight AA587 on its way to Santo Domingo back in November 2001. Finding out about this secret that you were not aware of isn't something lightly to take, and Yaya's anger and frustration is shown in every page. From the multi-award-winning author of The Poet X and With the Fire on High comes Elizabeth Acevedo's exceptional dual-voiced novel about loss, love and sisterhood across the sea, a story partly sparked by the fatal crash of a flight from NYC to Santo Domingo in 2001.

There’s a lot to tap into there, but their voices were quite similar to the point where it became difficult sometimes to remember who was speaking. And 2) The fact that Camino constantly goes back to the fucking beach, even though she knows that El Cero will be there, and will approach and harass her. Well, and then he dies in a plane crash on his way to DC and the entire house of cards that was built on so many lies comes crashing down on them. And how do you forgive him for cheating on your mother if he isn’t even there to take the blame or to be confronted about it? I think Acevedo's addition to Drea being her girlfriend was necessary, and I believe she did it really well.

Poetry is not my friend, but Acevedo manages to make this novel more lyrical, while maintaining her tone of heartbreak, sadness, grief, agony, and anger through every verse.

They aren’t just connected by blood but also by their love for their father and when push comes to shove that’s all that really matters.
