This was a moving story about stories. About how a young girl Isla who lost her father at a young age and begins to literally see her families stories play out before her. Cardinal whole heartedly captures the experience of not being American enough to fit in in America , but not being Puerto Rican enough to fit in Puerto Rico. This book also looked at classism, and touched a bit on how tourism impacts the island of Puerto Rico and its citizens. This book was a very good listen.
