David H.'s Reviews > The Storyteller's Death

Family can be complicated, and it very much is for Isla, with her father dying at the beginning of the book and her mom being unable to handle what's left of her life. Following mostly the special summers that Isla spends in Puerto Rico, and learning more about the family and the world as she gets older. There's an enormous amount of love for Puerto Rico, but it doesn't ignore issues of class or race. The main mystery that occupies the plot of the final half of the book was interesting, and as I said at the beginning, family can be complicated.
