YA
For generations, the Nomeolvides women have lived on La Pradera, tending the magical gardens while hiding a curse: anyone they love will vanish. When Estrella and her four cousins fall in love with the same woman--and a man mysteriously arrives at the estate--old balances are upset. With lovely language and magical realism, McLemore explores ancestral injustices, tradition, and the tension between love and loyalty.
