synopsis of the inheritance of orquídea divina a novel

(3.75 Stars) Magical realism can be, in itself, a polarizing genre and I can see this story greatly dividing readers. Determined to save what’s left of their family and uncover the truth behind their inheritance, the four descendants travel to Ecuador-to the place where Orquídea buried her secrets and broken promises and never looked backed. But soon, a hidden figure begins to tear through their family tree, picking them off one by one as it seeks to destroy Orquídea’s line. Seven years later, her gifts have manifested in different ways for Marimar, Rey, and Tatinelly’s daughter, Rhiannon, granting them unexpected blessings.

Instead, Orquídea is transformed, leaving them with more questions than answers. But when Orquídea Divina invites them to her funeral and to collect their inheritance, they hope to learn the secrets that she has held onto so tightly their whole lives. They know better than to ask why the pantry never seems to run low or empty, or why their matriarch won’t ever leave their home in Four Rivers-even for graduations, weddings, or baptisms. The Montoyas are used to a life without explanations.
