“The House of Broken Angels” by Luis Alberto Urrea tells the story of the De La Cruz family, a Mexican-American family gathering in San Diego for a double-header: Big Angel’s final birthday party and his mother’s funeral. Big Angel, the family patriarch, is dying of cancer and wants to celebrate with his loved ones before he passes. The novel explores themes of family, immigration, love, loss, and the complexities of belonging in America.

Copies are available for check out at our branches, along with digital editions on Libby.  If you finish your copy quickly, please return it to me so someone else might get the chance to read.

Hope to see you soon!

Happy Reading~
