Staff Picks: The Cemetery of Untold Stories by Julia Alvarez

The Cemetery of Untold Stories is about an author who buries the books she never finished in a cemetery she created.  The stories are based on actual people whose paths had crossed over the years and they whisper their stories to a woman who is a caretaker of the graves.  In addition to being incredible life stories, it’s an informative look at the history of Trujillo’s dictatorship in the Dominican Republic from 1930-1961.
