Résumé :
Search Party, Winner of the Eliud Mart?nez Prize from Inlandia Instituteby Ren? Solivan

Reminiscent of Ruben Degollado's The Family Izquierdo and most certainly a nod to Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey Into Night, this novel told in alternating perspectives is a stellar debut.

This book is so sad and I love it. In Search Party, we meet a family who is holding on to each other by a thread but mostly by blood. A family who continues to get pulled back into a chaotic and painful orbit around their mother, a woman who never wanted a family and is always leaving them. This book asks the question, What happens when women don't want a family but are forced to have one? The answer, if it offers any, is uncomfortable and multilayered. -Isabel Quintero, Eliud Mart?nez Prize judge and author of Gabi, a Girl in Pieces
