Ecuador - The Sisters of Alameda Street [Schedule] Read the World | Ecuador - The Sisters of Alameda Street by Lorena Hughes

Hello reading globetrotters! Join me, u/fixtheblue and u/nicehotcupoftea as we travel to Ecuador for the next stop on our around the world reading adventure. We will be reading The Sisters of Alameda Street by Lorena Hughes starting on May 10th.

Here's a summary from Goodreads:

When Malena Sevilla's tidy, carefully planned world collapses following her father’s mysterious suicide, she finds a letter—signed with an “A”—which reveals that her mother is very much alive and living in San Isidro, a quaint town tucked in the Andes Mountains. Intent on meeting her, Malena arrives at Alameda Street and meets four sisters who couldn’t be more different from one another, but who share one thing in common: all of their names begin with an A.

To avoid a scandal, Malena assumes another woman’s identity and enters their home to discover the truth. Could her mother be Amanda, the iconoclastic widow who opens the first tango nightclub in a conservative town? Ana, the ideal housewife with a less-than-ideal past? Abigail, the sickly sister in love with a forbidden man? Or Alejandra, the artistic introvert scarred by her cousin’s murder? But living a lie will bring Malena additional problems, such as falling for the wrong man and loving a family she may lose when they learn of her deceit. Worse, her arrival threatens to expose long-buried secrets and a truth that may wreck her life forever.

Set in 1960s Ecuador, The Sisters of Alameda Street is a sweeping story of how one woman’s search for the truth of her identity forces a family to confront their own past.

And here is the schedule:

May 10 - Start through Chapter 8
May 17 - Chapter 9 through Chapter 22
May 24 - Chapter 23 through Chapter 37
May 31 - Chapter 38 through End

See you all on May 10th!
