The Storyteller's Death by Ann Dávila Cardinal
4.0
A girl living in New Jersey spends every summer in Puerto Rico with her mother's family-- a mother who is struggling with alcohol addiction, and so her daughter increasingly has to take care of herself (and her mom) when at home. Starts when the MC is a child, but most of the story takes place during the summers of her teen years, when after the death of an elderly relative she begins learning more about family secrets in an unexpected way.
An enjoyable read with multiple nuanced characters, though I didn't find the family-mysteries aspects to be especially engaging-- I didn't find I was dying to learn the answers.
