Description
The House of Broken Angels
In his final days, beloved patriarch Miguel Angel de La Cruz has summoned his entire clan for one last birthday party. But as the party approaches, tragedy strikes, transforming the weekend into a farewell doubleheader. This poignant tale weaves together the lives of Big Angel's family and friends, exploring themes of love, identity, and belonging. As the revellers mingle among the palm trees and cacti, they celebrate the lives of Big Angel and his mother, recounting the many inspiring tales that have passed into family lore. With brilliance and humor, Luis Alberto Urrea masterfully recounts the acts both ordinary and heroic that brought these citizens to a fraught and sublime country, allowing them to flourish in their adopted home. A powerful exploration of family, culture, and the human experience, The House of Broken Angels is a testament to the enduring power of love and storytelling.Related Products
