Praise for “The House of Broken Angels”
 
“Through the magical power of Urrea’s writing, we become healed and whole. And we laugh and tear up and shake our heads in wonder all the way to the ending of a book we don’t want to end. Urrea delivers on every page.” — Julia Alverez, Author of “How the Garcia Girls Lost their Accents”

“literary badass” and a “master storyteller with a rock and roll heart” — NPR

“The House of Broken Angels has everything we demand of a great novel—sweep, ambition, generosity, myth, intimacy, and, above all, humanity. Luis Alberto Urrea just gets better and better.” —Richard Russo, Pulitzer Prize–winning and New York Times bestselling author of Everybody’s Fool
