My Thoughts:
Fifteen-year-old Sara can’t accept her parents’ divorce, and her beloved grandma Bibi Jan is gradually losing her memory.
Sara’s extended family is large. She is from an Afghan-Uzbek family. Bibi Jan had eleven children, ten daughters and one son. Her grandparents came to America in search of a better life for themselves and their children. Sara is trying to collect the stories of her family to find a missing piece of the puzzle.
House of Yesterday is a very nice contemporary YA fiction with bits of magical realism. The narration is excellent.
