4.0

Towards the end of her career, Dominican-born writer, Alma, moves back to her homeland and inherits a plot of land. Alma uses this land to lay her unfinished stories and characters to rest and hires a local woman, Filomina, to be the cemetery’s caretaker. With gorgeous prose, Alvarez weaves together the lives of these characters to craft a captivating blend of magical realism and historical fiction about the impact of storytelling on our lives.
