Helgfrågan sommar vecka 29 / 2021

 

Nu under sommaren kör Mia en ständig helgfråga istället för olika varje vecka, jag har dock tagit ett lite uppehåll med Helgfrågan i ett par veckor men tänkte att vara med nu igen, jag väljer denna gång att svara på frågan Vad läser du nu? Kan även vara ett boktisps.

I morgon tänker jag påbörja denna bok, som jag verkligen ser framemot att läsa då jag gillade författarens första bok Poet X (min recension finns här), som även den är skriven på vers.

 Camino Rios lives for the summers when her father visits her in the Dominican Republic. But this time, on the day when his plane is supposed to land, Camino arrives at the airport to see crowds of crying people... In New York City, Yahaira Rios is called to the principal's office, where her mother is waiting to tell her that her father, her hero, has died in a plane crash. Separated by distance - and Papi's secrets - the two girls are forced to face a new reality in which their father is dead and their lives are forever altered. And then, when it seems like they've lost everything of their father, they learn of each other. In a dual narrative novel in verse that brims with both grief and love, award-winning and bestselling author Elizabeth Acevedo writes about the devastation of loss, the difficulty of forgiveness, and the bittersweet bonds that shape our lives.
