Description
When her father's release from prison upends her life, 16-year-old Lava is forced to confront the imperfections of her family and herself. Her mother's cousin, Lola, offers a new path forward in Seville, where she teaches Lava the language of flamenco dance.
As Lava becomes fluent in flamenco, she discovers new modes of expression and experiences first love, friendship, and betrayal. Through her journey, she uncovers family secrets and grapples with legacy, self-expression, and finding a way to live.
Duende is a poignant coming-of-age novella that explores the complexities of mother-daughter relationships, identity, and the power of art to express and heal.
