The Things We Didn't Know

"Elba Iris Pérez's debut novel, The Things We Didn't Know, breathes with narrative magic ... Andrea's coming-of-age as she searches for a stable sense of family will resonate with readers as if it were their own reality."--Harry Youtt, poet and author of I'm Never Not Thinking of You

"The Things We Didn't Know will sweep you up from Massachusetts to Puerto Rico and back again in a whirlwind of unfamiliar cultures, betrayals, cruelties, and loves. Elba Iris Pérez delivers a wonderfully compelling read."--Judith Simon Prager, co-author of The Worst Is Over and author of What the Dolphin Said
