“Speak to Me of Home” by Jeanine Cummins
Published by Henry Holt and Co.
My book of the year for 2023 was “The Outside Boy” by Jeanine
Cummins. There is a high probability
that my 2025 book of the year will be by the same author. I absolutely loved every page of this book. It is the story of 3 generations of women,
spanning from the 1960s to current day, taking place in both Puerto Rico and
the United States. It bounces between
each woman’s story, at different times of their lives, yet is easy to follow. There is family drama, romance, parent/child
relationships, sibling relationships, cultural issues, racism, and other “hot
topics” all braided into one book. And it is just so beautifully written. I can’t
think of one piece I didn’t enjoy. I
highly recommend it.
Thank you to NetGalley and Holt for the complimentary
copy of this book. As always, the
opinions expressed within this review are completely my own.
Finished 5/7/25 – 5/5 stars (publication day is 5/13/25)
