A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year
A Publishers Weekly Flying Start
★
"Authentic and immersive...A labor of love imbued with dedication to family." --Kirkus Reviews (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 "A true reader's treat." -- Al Da News "This nostalgic collection of family stories is stunning."--Shelf-Awareness High 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 Belns - 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.
