Product Information
Literary icon and great American novelist Julia Alvarez, bestselling author of In the Time of the Butterflies and How the García Girls Lost Their Accents , returns with a luminescent novel about storytelling that reads like an instant classic. "Only an alchemist as wise and sure as Alvarez could swirl the elements of folklore and the flavor of magical realism around her modern prose and make it all sing . . . Lively, joyous . . . often witty, occasionally somber and elegiac." --Luis Alberto Urrea, The New York Times Book Review "Engaging and written in a playful, crystal-clear prose, this novel explores friendship, love, sisterhood, living between cultures, and how people can be haunted by the things they don't finish . . . Entertaining . . . Heartwarming." --Gabino Iglesias, The Boston Globe **Named a Most Anticipated Book by the New York Times , Washington Post , Today.com, Goodreads, B&N Reads , Literary Hub , HipLatina , BookPage , BBC.com, Zibby Mag, and more** Alma Cruz, the celebrated writer at the heart of The Cemetery of Untold Stories , doesn't want to end up like her friend, a novelist who fought so long and hard to finish a book that it threatened her sanity. So when Alma inherits a small plot of land in the Dominican Republic, her homeland, she has the beautiful idea of turning it into a place to bury her untold stories--literally. She creates a graveyard for the manuscript drafts and the characters whose lives she tried and failed to bring to life and who still haunt her. Alma wants her characters to rest in peace. But they have other ideas and soon begin to defy their author: they talk back to her and talk to one another behind her back, rewriting and revising themselves. Filomena, a local woman hired as the groundskeeper, becomes a sympathetic listener to the secret tales unspooled by Alma's characters. Among them, Bienvenida, dictator Rafael Trujillo's abandoned wife who was erased from the official history, and Manuel Cruz, a doctor who fought in the Dominican underground and escaped to the United States. The Cemetery of Untold Stories asks: Whose stories get to be told, and whose buried? Finally, Alma finds the meaning she and her characters yearn for in the everlasting vitality of stories. Julia Alvarez reminds us that the stories of our lives are never truly finished, even at the end.

Reviews
"Only an alchemist as wise and sure as Alvarez could swirl the elements of folklore and the flavor of magical realism around her modern prose and make it all sing... Lively, joyous... often witty, occasionally somber and elegiac."-- Alberto Urrea, New York Times Book Review, "A powerful and lyrical allegory about an older artist haunted by her own creativity. Alvarez has a wonderful way of being both lyrical and precisely concrete at the same time. Magical and multifaceted, this meditation on creativity, culture and aging is a triumph."-- BookPage (Starred Review), "Julia Alvarez delivers yet another glorious novel, this time about a very unique kind of love--the love of storytelling. Scheherazade-like, Alvarez keeps us hooked with surprising plot twists and revelations, and characters so captivating that we want to get lost in the corridors of their tales. Simply stated, this book is magical." -- Rigoberto González, director of the MFA Program in Creative Writing, Rutgers University, and author of To the Boy Who Was Night: Poems Selected and New, "Mystical and moving, The Cemetery of Untold Stories shows why some stories must be told no matter how hard you try to bury them."-- TIME.com, Named a Most Anticipated Book of the Year by the New York Times , Washington Post , Today.com, Goodreads, Literary Hub , BookPage , BBC.com, and Zibby Mag !, "Julia Alvarez has been one of the most successful and acclaimed Latina writers since the 1990s... In a brilliant fusion of the personal and the political, Alvarez's characters are haunted by both their own memories and the lingering memory of Trujillo's regime."-- Bustle, "A rich and moving saga of Dominican history emerges, embodied in the lives of irresistible characters... Her gifts for glowing prose and powerful narrative are still strong. Buried stories find their way to the light in this finely crafted novel."-- Kirkus Reviews (starred review), "A captivating premise." "Julia Alvarez enchants with a supernatural story... . [Her] seventh novel, The Cemetery of Untold Stories , beautifully illuminates the experience of an artist's twilight years. ...simply genius. Her writing is infused with lyricism and metaphor, but it's also engrossing and accessible." -- BookPage, "This new novel from the legendary author of In the Time of Butterflies is about a writer who decides to literally bury all her unfinished stories in a plot of inherited land. But the words still speak to her, even from beyond their grave."-- Book Riot, "Alvarez brings the magic again in this nesting box of a novel. These tales... are linked in surprising ways, most especially in a humanity that transcends pathos and passion. May Alvarez continue to excavate stories for many years to come!"-- Booklist (starred review), "Like How the García Girls Lost Their Accents , Alvarez's pathbreaking novel from 1991, her new book explores sisterhood, immigration and return, and family secrets."-- Washington Post, "Dominican-American novelist Julia Alvarez has occasionally flirted with magical realism throughout her career--but in The Cemetery of Untold Stories she takes it to Gabriel García Márquez levels, and the result is sublime... Always a master of atmosphere, Alvarez has created a mysterious yet fully realized setting for a story that examines how we create our stories--and how they inevitably intertwine."-- Apple
