Overview

Notes From Your Bookseller Where There Was Fire is an atmospheric debut novel about a government cover-up, family secrets and the ghosts that haunt us — both figuratively and literally. Arias immerses readers in a lush, gorgeous world that will stick with you long after you've finished this book. A lush and lyrical debut novel about a Costa Rican family wrestling with a deadly secret, from rising literary star John Manuel Arias “An exciting new voice with a prowess for lyricism.” ―Publishers Weekly MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2023: CrimeReads, Debutiful, Library Journal, Zibby Magazine, The Mary Sue, and more! Costa Rica, 1968. When a lethal fire erupts at the American Fruit Company’s most lucrative banana plantation burning all evidence of a massive cover-up, the future of Teresa Cepeda Valverde’s family is changed forever. Now, twenty-seven years later, Teresa and her daughter Lyra are still picking up the pieces. Lyra wants nothing to do with Teresa, but is desperate to find out what happened to her family that fateful night. Teresa, haunted by a missing husband and the bitter ghost of her mother, Amarga, is unable to reconcile the past. What unfolds is a story of a mother and daughter trying to forgive what they do not yet understand, and the mystery at the heart of one family’s rupture, steeped in machismo, jealousy, labor uprisings, and the havoc wreaked by banana plantations in Central America. Brimming with ancestral spirits, omens, and the anthropomorphic forces of nature, John Manuel Arias weaves a brilliant tapestry of love, loss, secrets, and redemption in Where There was Fire.
