I didn't realize this was a follow up to Hummingbird! Same characters completely different tone. I adore Urrea, and I listen to most of this on audio because he reads it, and I love his voice. I have to say though that I struggled paying attention to most of it. I live that is is more about the daily immigration life then the magic of the 1st book, and there is a lot of humor, maybe I just wasn't in the right mood.
Two riders came from the darksome sea, black against the morning light, and they tore into the first Mexican village.

The House of Broken Angels is my most anticipated read this year, so I was excited to learn that Luis Alberto Urrea was in town to give a talk. He is absolutely wonderful in person. If you haven‘t read any of his books, both his non-fiction and fiction are excellent. I highly recommend The Hummingbird‘s Daughter.
Modern lit book haul from Rotary book sale day 1. I will go back once or twice in the next 8 days, as the stock changes.
