The mesmerizing story of a Latin American science fiction writer and the lives her lost manuscript unites decades later in post-Katrina New Orleans

- content: Narrator Coral Pena emigrated from the Dominican Republic to the U.S. as a young woman. The heroine of this audiobook, Adana, did the same thing. This matters because a sense of place and identity are important in this impressive literary mystery. The story follows Adana as she moves to New Orleans and writes a science fiction/fantasy bestseller. Two generations later, her grandson and a friend seek a manuscript that may be the only copy of Adana's unpublished second novel. Pena gives listeners strong female characters, accents matched to the story's multicultural speakers, and moments of cosmic contemplation. D.L.G. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
