The Cemetery of Untold Stories by Julia AlvarezRead about another entry on the list.
Any writer knows how it feels to see your characters through murky waters, just out of reach and never fully formed. What if they decided to do the job for you? When Alma inherits an ancestral plot of land in the Dominican Republic, she knows exactly what she wants to do with it — turn it into a literary graveyard. She decides to give up on her unfinished characters and let them rest in peace, but when they begin talking back to her and revising their own manuscripts, Alma realizes they won’t go down without a fight. A funny, life-affirming novel about storytelling, friendship and death from the author of How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents.
--Marshal Zeringue
