susiedoom 's review for:
The Cemetery of Untold Stories
by Julia Alvarez
A famous writer builds a cemetery in the Dominican Republic to bury her unfinished manuscripts, but some of her characters decide they aren't ready to say goodbye. What a great hook! Julia Alvarez writes gorgeous sentences that really dig into you, but I do wish the magical realism element had felt a little more vivid and immersive. I wanted more interaction between the characters, but overall, a unique and evocative story full of beautiful writing.
