The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina by Zoraida Córdova

You may think you're diving into a contemporary novel, but the lush, thoughtful magical realism woven into Cordova's novel is breathtaking and spellbinding. Set in Ecuador in a town called Four Rivers, the large, eclectic Montoya family returns to the home of Orquídea, summoned there to collect their inheritance — and the unworldly, fantastical magic that finds them. Here is where we learn the backstory of Orquídea's life, then leap into the present to follow her many children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. With tender, glimmering prose, Córdova's multi-generational tale isn't one to miss. Get your copy now. —Farrah Penn
