A review by jhutch1324
The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina by Zoraida Córdova
5.0
After finishing this I am struggling to find words for a review. I can't say too much really, or it could spoil certain aspects of the story. For this reason I will be brief, but please excuse me because it's hard to put into words.
This novel is a moving story about a family and their head, Orquidea. Orquidea is peculiar but loves her family fiercely. She is mysterious even to her loved ones. She's a strong feminine character who inspires love and loyalty in her children and grandchildren. Her home in Four Rivers was forged with her blood, sweat, and tears and her family feels safe there. When she calls the family together to receive their inheritance, they are unsure if she is being serious.
Years later, when Orquidea's family members have gone back to their lives they find that their mothers and grandmother's story isn't quite over just yet.
I originally picked this from BOTM because it's partially set in Ecuador (my bestie is from Ecuador). I can safely say that I am loving this author and want to read more of her works, regardless of where the stories are set.
