Okay, it didn’t exactly make my heart sing but
I really liked it. I read the precious
one (no caps intended) by Marisa de los Santos. I have read this author’s work in the past,
and enjoyed it and this new one did not disappoint.
Ms. de los Santos has a real gift for language and
unique storytelling. The characters are well-drawn, well- rounded and singular.
There were no two-dimensional stereotypes thrown in to fill gaps in the
storyline.
The story focuses on events occurring during a
family gathering shown through the eyes of two different characters. The two
are estranged sisters and we see their perspective through their thoughts and
interactions.
Although the main action is in the present,
revelations occur as the characters explore the past. Two sisters with the same
father and different mothers experienced growing up as disparate as if they
were on separate continents.
Recommend.
