The Cemetery of Untold Stories

The writer Alma Cruz knows what it’s like to depend on her characters: her friend sacrificed her health and relationships with loved ones for her creativity. But Alma does not want such a fate for herself. After many years of... trying to finish the main book of her life, she decides to bury the drafts on her plot of land in her native Dominican Republic. However, the buried heroes do not intend to leave the author in peace: they begin to speak — first whispering, then louder. Local resident Filomena, who has the gift of listening and hearing, becomes the guardian of the resurrected narratives, and the literary cemetery turns into a place where a generation of nameless can finally tell their story without fear.
Julia Alvarez's novel — the author of the global bestseller "In the Time of the Butterflies" — is a polyphonic narrative about memory, love, and the magic of words that can conquer oblivion.
