Book Synopsis

''Beautiful prose, even-handed magic and all the pains and triumphs of intergenerational bonds'' KILEY REID, author of Such A Fun Age and Come and Get It

''Undeniably beautiful'' Sunday Times

Flor has a gift: she can predict, to the day, when someone will die. So when she decides to throw her own living wake, her sisters are concerned. What has she foreseen?

Planning the celebration brings further complications for the Marte family, because Flor isn''t the only person with secrets: her sisters are hiding things, too. And the next generation, cousins Ona and Yadi, face tumult of their own.

Family Lore traces the intertwining stories of five women: sisters and cousins, mothers and daughters, aunts and nieces, to ask the ultimate question - what does it take to live a good life, for yourself and those you love?
