Clap When You Land
Bok av Elizabeth Acevedo
In a novel-in-verse that brims with grief and love, National Book Award-winning and New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Acevedo writes about the devastation of loss, the difficulty of forgiveness, and the bittersweet bonds that shape our lives.
Camino Rios lives for the summers when her father visits her in the Dominican Republic. But this time, on the day when his plane is supposed to land, Camino arrives at the airport to see crowds of crying people...
In New York City, Yahaira Rios is called to the principal's office, where her mother is waiting to tell her that her father, her hero, has died in a plane crash.
Separated by distance?and Papi's secrets?the two girls are forced to face a new reality in which their father is dead and their lives are forever altered.
And then, when it seems like they've lost everything of their father, they learn of each other.

Systrarna Camino och Yahaira växer upp utan att känna till varandras existens, den ena i Dominikanska republiken, den andra i New York. Det är först när deras pappa omkommer i en flygolycka som de får kännedom om att pappan har ytterligare en familj. Bra och välskrivet på vers. Ljudboken är bland annat inläst av författaren själv, jag började med att läsa och lyssna samtidigt och växlade sedan mellan ljudbok och vanlig bok. Jag tror jag hade haft svårt att komma in i bara ljudboken samtidigt tyckte jag att det tillförde ganska mycket känsla att höra dialekten.
