Big Angel de La Cruz is dying. The patriarch of a large family has gathered them together for the funeral of his mother followed by a celebration of what is to be his last birthday. The multi-generational clan gathers in Big Angel's Southern California home to reminisce reveals stories of their lives, sometimes humorous, sometimes poignant, and often philosophical. Occasionally I was confused about which way the characters are related but it didn't really matter. A large part of the story focuses on Big Angel's much younger half-brother, Little Angel, who was not brought up with the others. The story is hard to describe but I enjoyed listening to the audiobook.
