      The kernel of the story that would become Family Lore, Elizabeth Acevedo's first novel for adults, came to her in college, after a visit with one of her aunts in the Bronx. Instant gratification Family Lore, which shifts from New York to the Dominican Republic and back, is Acevedo's first book to be simultaneously published in Spanish. [Extracted from the article]
