Mariposa Landing - Book Review

Mariposa Landing, by Margaret Nava, tells the story of Angela Dunn, a middle aged woman who experiences many changes in her life. Finding a daughter she gave up for adoption decades earlier, and learning she has a grandson are among a few things she, and her new, supportive husband, Gilberto, deal with.

The descriptions Margaret Nava has written in this book create clear and visual scenes. The special nuances of the south are almost palpable.

Angela Dunn, her family and lovely group of neighbors, feel like old friends. I don’t want to say goodbye to any of these characters, so I plan to read the other Angela Dunn books (Egret Cove and Hummingbird Ridge.)
