This story is a series of fragmented stories that eventually overlap with one another through connections between the main characters of each story. Some of the main characters of the stories are left hanging. For instance, we don’t know what happens to the son of the drug lord or the plastic surgeon’s childhood friend. Some stories don’t seem to fit at first, but keep reading because eventually you’ll see the connection. It’s a complex story, but what family isn’t a little complicated? I give this book 4 stars and recommend it to anyone who enjoys stories about cultural roots or family issues.
