A wry, tender novel about a Peruvian immigrant mother and a millennial daughter who have one final chance to find common ground
Thirtysomething Flores and her mother, Paula, still live in the same Brooklyn apartment, but that may be the only thing they have in common. Itās been nearly three years since they lost beloved husband and father MartĆn, who had always been the bridge between them. One day, cleaning beneath his urn, Flores discovers a note written in her motherās handwriting: PerdĆ³name si te falle. Recuerda que siempre te quise. (āForgive me if I failed you. Remember that I always loved you.ā) But what would Paula need forgiveness for?
Now newfound doubts and old memories come flooding in, complicating each womanās efforts to carve out a good life for herselfāand to support the other in the same. Paula thinks Flores should spend her evenings meeting a future husband, not crunching numbers for a floundering aquarium startup. Flores wishes Paula would ask for a raise at her DollaBills retail job, or at least find a best friend who isnāt a married man.
When Flores and Paula learn they will be forced to move, they must finally confront their complicated pastāand decide whether they share the same dreams for the future. Spirited and warm-hearted, Melissa Riveroās new novel showcases the complexities of the mother-daughter bond with fresh insight and empathy.
