A review by alassea
Afterlife by Julia Alvarez

4.0

I was told this book was uplifting. Having read it I still feel like it is, but I am having a hard time understanding why. Besides the disjointed intro, this book was an easy read and it flowed well. It follows Antonia who's recently lost her husband and her interactions with her sisters and the undocumented migrants around her. I enjoyed reading about an older character with a different past and a different outlook. The book feels truthful.

Looking forward to talking about it with my book club tonight.
