À propos de cet audio
A Reese Witherspoon x Hello Sunshine Book Club Pick
FORECAST: Storm clouds are on the horizon in L.A. Weather, a fun, fast-paced novel of a Mexican-American family from the author of the #1 Los Angeles Times bestseller Esperanza’s Box of Saints
L.A. is parched, dry as a bone, and all Oscar, the weather-obsessed patriarch of the Alvarado family, desperately wants is a little rain. He’s harboring a costly secret that distracts him from everything else. His wife, Keila, desperate for a life with a little more intimacy and a little less Weather Channel, feels she has no choice but to end their marriage. Their three daughters - Claudia, a television chef with a hard-hearted attitude; Olivia, a successful architect who suffers from gentrification guilt; and Patricia, a social media wizard who has an uncanny knack for connecting with audiences but not with her lovers - are blindsided and left questioning everything they know. Each will have to take a critical look at her own relationships and make some tough decisions along the way.
With quick-wit and humor, Maria Amparo Escandón follows the Alvarado family as they wrestle with impending evacuations, secrets, deception, and betrayal, and their toughest decision yet: whether to stick together or burn it all down.
A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books
"A rollicking and hilarious family drama...One of the most endearing L.A. novels in recent memory." (Publishers Weekly, starred review)
Likes/ Loves
- Patricia Alvarado is my favourite. She is a social media influencer that seems to have the caring and loving nature.
- I like that all Alvarado sisters have completely different personalities.
- I love that despite everything, their dinners bring the Alvarado family together.
- I like the Jewish and Catholic mix/ upbringing and history of the family.
It is a well written book and it impresses me that María Amparo Escandón was able to write so beautifully in English. I could not imagine being brave enough to write something in another language. During Reese’s virtual book club meet Maria was very open and candid about her family life which I absolutely love.
