Why read it?
1 author picked The Book of Lost Saints as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I loved the unique way Daniel José Older explores the Cuban Revolution and the disappearance of ordinary citizens fighting in the war, including Marisol, whom we first meet as a spirit haunting her nephew Ramon.
Ramon sets out to uncover stories about his missing aunt, and along the way, falls in love and uncovers his mother’s own secrets related to Marisol’s disappearance.

From Donna's list on haunting: how the past lingers with us.
