Description:2024 American Legacy Book Awards winner2023 International Book Awards winner2023 Readers' Choice Book Awards finalist"The story maintains an intensity both compelling and addictive. This is accomplished in part through Poppe's stylized narrative approach. Her careful and expert application of fast, muscular language (she uses verbs such as "origamied," "Vaselined," "roller-coastered," "puddled," "star-fished," and "monstered") is a kind of third-rail approach to tension building." - New City Lit"The pace of this gorgeously written novella is perfect. It pulls the reader along with a terse lyricism."- Windy City Reviews"Alex Poppe's new novel, Duende, presents a series of reflections on trying to know others and how that experience shapes how we become who we are. Lava, a sixteen-year-old expatriate who, for reasons at first left unspoken, has been sent to live with her cousin Lola in Seville. The reason for her exile is one of the mysteries at the heart of the novel, but it is the journey she takes to acknowledge it that carries the reader along, spellbound, in this coming-of-age novella."- American Book ReviewSixteen-year-old Lava lives peacefully enough with her imperfect mother, Lila, and their boarder, Cody, an Iraqi war vet suffering from PTSD. Lava's ex-addict father, Jesse, is released from prison, and Lava's life in Detroit is upended when Jesse pressures Lava for her urine so he can pass his mandatory drug tests. After an altercation, Lava is sent to live with her mother's cousin Lola in Seville. Lola is a larger-than-life flamenco dancer who teaches Lava the language of flamenco dance; Lava's life opens outward as she becomes fluent in flamenco's structure, giving her new modes of expression as she experiences first love, friendship, and betrayal, and uncovers family secrets. Rich with lyrical, sensual prose, Duende is a coming-of-age novella about mothers and daughters, about legacy, about self-expression, about defining a way to live.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
