Publisher's summary

There was always an old woman dying in the back room of her grandmother's house when Isla was a child...

Isla Larsen Sanchez's life begins to unravel when her father passes away. Instead of being comforted at home in New Jersey, her mother starts leaving her in Puerto Rico with her great-aunt each summer, like a piece of forgotten luggage. It is only when Isla turns eighteen, and her grandmother, a great storyteller, dies, that Isla discovers she has a gift.

The tales of dead family storytellers are brought back to life, replaying themselves over and over in front of her. When Isla has a vision of an old murder mystery, she realizes that if she can't solve it to make the loop end, these seemingly harmless stories could cost Isla her life.

Great story!! Twists and turns!

Really enjoyed listening! The backdrop of Puerto Rico was so nice. It took me back to visiting there, especially the rainforest. I would love to read all her books, very unexpected!

Great story

I feel Iike this story will resonate more with immigrant families who are trying to break multigenerational traumas
And that’s quite possibly why some people did not enjoy it
As part of the younger Latino generation it put into perspective our efforts to put an end to colorism as well as our struggles with self identity and feeling like you don’t fit in with either of your cultures.
It was very well told and Marisol did an amazing job narrarating

Birdholt. Book club suggestion

I believe this is a story more appropriately listed for YA. It was a good tale. But a bit simple in telling a few too many trite similes.

Lovely

Felt a little slow to start but in fact the pacing was perfect. A thoughtful, special tale that will stay with me.

Intriguing!

I really enjoyed this story of the storytellers. I don't think I've heard anything quite like this before. It was quite enjoyable and flowed well. Definitely recommend.
