Fiction
In a small town on the Mexican border live two brothers,
Don Fidencio and Don Celestino. Stubborn and independent,
they now must face the facts: they are old, and they have
let a family argument stand between them for too long. Don
Celestino's good-natured housekeeper encourages him to make
amends--while he still can. They secretly liberate Don
Fidencio from his nursing home and travel into Mexico to
solve the mystery at the heart of their dispute: the family
legend of their grandfather's kidnapping. As the unlikely
trio travels, the brothers learn it's never too late for a
new beginning. With winsome prose and heartfelt humor, Oscar Casares's
debut novel of family lost and found radiates with
generosity and grace and confirms the arrival of a uniquely
talented new writer.
