Library Tidings by Kevin Mittge Book Review “The House of Broken Angels” by Luis Alberto Urrea From the Pulitzer Prize-win- ning author of the nonfiction book “The Devil’s Highway,” comes a new novel by Luis Al- berto Urrea. In his final days, beloved and ailing patriarch Miguel Angel de la Cruz, affectionate- ly called Big Angel, has sum- moned his entire clan for one last legendary birthday party. But as the party approaches, his mother, nearly 100, dies herself, leading to a farewell doubleheader in a single week- end. Among the guests is Big Angel’s half-brother, known as Little Angel, who must reckon with the truth that although he shares a father with his sib- lings, he has not, as a half grin- go, shared his life. Across two bittersweet days in their San Diego neighbor- hood, the revelers mingle among the palm trees and cacti, celebrating the lives of Big Angel and his mother, and recounting the many inspir- ing tales that have passed into family lore, the acts both ordi- nary and heroic that brought these citizens to a fraught and sublime country and allowed them to flourish in the land they have come to call home. The story of the de La Cruzes is the quintessential American story. This indelible portrait of a complex family reminds us of what it means to be the first generation and to live two lives across one border. It takes us into a world we have not known while reflecting back the hopes and dreams of our own fami- lies. Teeming with wisdom and humor, authentic at every turn, “The House of Broken Angels” is Urrea at his best, and ce- ments his reputation as a sto- ryteller of the first rank.
