"This, the most personal book by the great American novelist Luis Alberto Urrea, is one of the most vivid and engrossing family epics of the last twenty years."

—Dave Eggers, National Book Award finalist and New York Times bestselling author of The Circle

"The House of Broken Angels has everything we demand of a great novel—sweep, ambition, generosity, myth, intimacy, and, above all, humanity. Luis Alberto Urrea just gets better and better." 

—Richard Russo,  Pulitzer Prize-winning and New York Times bestselling author of Everybody's Fool

"Luis Alberto Urrea is a master storyteller, and he delivers a masterwork with The House of the Broken Angels. Stories spin on stories. There are lives intimately depicted and fully realized; losses redeemed by love; a dazzling display of narrative fireworks, each little scene a gem; and larger-than-life characters across two borders who cross all borders and become ours. We enter this house of broken angels, and through the magical power of Urrea's writing, we become healed and whole. And we laugh and tear up and shake our heads in wonder all the way to the ending of a book we don't want to end. Urrea delivers on every page. ¡Dios santo! What a storyteller! Bless his capacious heart!" 

—Julia Alvarez, author of How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents
