The Cemetery of Untold Stories

The Cemetery of Untold Stories by Julia Alvarez

People in a Dominican Republic village wonder what will happen to the land by the landfill. They think about all sorts of things. However, it was inherited by a writer who decides to use it as a cemetary of untold stories. The untold stories contain many characters that are tied to the history of the Dominican Republic and some of the key characters. The stories are tied together with the "real" people that live in the land. It was originally written in English, though it makes heavy use of Latin American culture.
