## Summary

High Spirits by Camille Gomera-Tavarez, a collection of interconnected short stories featuring a vibrant, colorful illustrated cover with folk art elements.

## Description

Pura Belpré Honor Book BEST OF THE YEAR Chicago Review of Books · Kirkus · Los Angeles Public LibraryPublishers Weekly Flying StartHigh Spirits is a collection of eleven interconnected short stories from the Dominican diaspora, from debut author Camille Gomera-Tavarez. It is a book centered on one extended family – the Beléns – across multiple generations. It is set in the fictional small town of Hidalpa – and Santo Domingo and Paterson and San Juan and Washington Heights too. It is told in a style both utterly real and distinctly magical – and its stories explore machismo, mental health, family, and identity. But most of all, High Spirits represents the first book from Camille Gomera-Tavarez, who takes her place as one of the most extraordinary new voices to emerge in years.For fans of Elizabeth Acevedo, Sandra Cisneros, Angie Cruz, and Yaa GyasiP R A I S E ★ “Authentic and immersive…A labor of love imbued with dedication to family.”—Kirkus (starred) ★ “Deeply personal and relatable. Steeped in nostalgia and harsh but fierce love, this is a memorable family saga in its own right.”—Booklist (starred) ★ “Full of vivid and poetic imagery… settings worthy of drinking in, and thematic material ripe for contemplation about identity, intergenerational memory, and patriarchy and toxic masculinity, Gomera-Tavarez’s soulfully crafted debut is a sensitive, intrinsically feminist work.”—Publishers Weekly (starred) “A magical and unflinching look at the Dominican Diaspora.”—Dominican Writers Association
