Description
Candelaria A Novel by Melissa Lozada-Oliva is an unsettling and raucous debut novel that unearths one troubled family's legacy through sharp cultural criticism and tongue-in-cheek humor. The story follows three generations of women as they grapple with muddled pasts and predetermined futures, exploring diasporic identity politics and the dangers of wanting to belong at any cost. As a cataclysmic earthquake hits Boston, the protagonist must traverse the crumbling city to reach the Watertown Mall Old Country Buffet for reasons she still cannot disclose. Battling strange entities and her own strange past, the protagonist embarks on a journey that examines the limits of bodily autonomy and the devastating consequences of love. A sweeping and mystical novel, Candelaria is a story of love that eats us alive.
