The cover of THE CEMETERY OF UNTOLD STORIES by Julia Alvarez. The cover is dark blue with leaves encroaching on the sides, the statue of a woman's head face up, eyes closed, with a sprout coming out of her mouth.

The Cemetery of Untold Stories

Published on april 2nd, 2024

A wonderfully inventive novel about telling stories and what happens to the stories we leave untold, from the beloved and bestselling author of In the Time of the Butterflies and How the García Girls Lost Their Accents.

“What a love letter not only to storytelling, but also to the tender, urgent, funny, heartbreaking reasons we tell stories in the first place. This cemetery is a fertile field of rebirth, reawakening, and joy. Every page overflows with delight and wisdom.”

—Stacey D’Erasmo, author of The Complicities
