"With tongue-in-cheek humor and sharp cultural criticism, this novel is an unforgettable exploration of diasporic identity politics and the dangers of wanting to belong at any cost." —Xochitl Gonzalez, The TODAY Show

"Lozada-Oliva's apocalyptic debut novel in prose is an ode to complicated family dynamics, the overwhelming ways love can consume and eat us alive." —Pamela Avila, USA Today


Your granddaughters are lost, Candelaria. Bianca, the brainy archaeologist, had to forfeit her life's work in Guatemala after her advisor seduced and deserted her. Paola, missing for over a decade, resurfaces in Boston as a brainwashed wellness cultist named Zoe. And Candy, the youngest, is a recovering addict who finds herself pregnant by a man she's not even sure ever existed. None of this concerns you of course, until a cataclysmic earthquake hits Boston. Now you must traverse the crumbling city to reach the Watertown Mall Old Country Buffet—for a reason you still cannot disclose—battling strange entities and your own strange past to save your granddaughters and possibly the world.

Author of Dreaming of You Melissa Lozada-Oliva delivers an unsettling, raucous debut novel written with tongue-in-cheek humor and sharp cultural criticism that unearths one troubled family’s legacy, feasting on diasporic identity politics and examining the limits of bodily autonomy and the dangers of wanting to belong at any cost.

A sweeping, mystical novel following three generations of women as they grapple with muddled pasts and predetermined futures, Candelaria is a story of love that eats us alive.

Not linen
These aren’t linen, these are microfiber shorts. Fabric feels very cheap.

True To Size
These shorts fit true to size and are so comfortable. They have a drawstring waist, so you can adjust them for the best fit and wide legs. They are 55% linen and 45% cotton so they keep you feeling cool. The classic colors go with nearly any other colors or designs, making them stretch your wardrobe potential and saving you money. They were extremely wrinkled upon arrival, so I used my fabric steamer, and within 5 min they looked perfect. I love these shorts and wear them all the time!

Cute 2-pack pair of shorts
Color: Black, White, Size: Medium, Color: Black, White, Size: Medium
Cute shorts that have pockets and fit true to size. I love that they come in a pack of two as well. The black ones are my favorite and I feel like the fabric is a little softer on the black pair. The white ones are a little thinner than I would like. I was wearing an olive green colored underwear underneath them in the pictures in my review and though you can’t see them much, I do feel like they were slightly visible. The white pair also had a lot of loose strings on them which made me think the quality might not be as good as with the black pair. They washed easily and I hung them up to dry them because they smelled kind of funny when they arrived.

Good value for 2 shorts
These come vacuum sealed and have crazy wrinkles... so be prepared to do some ironing. I ordered the Mediums as I am a 6-8. The black pair feels a bit smaller than the beige pair... with both feeling tighter than I like for comfort. The look nice on, but feel like it constricts my belly a bit too much. Overall a nice basic set of shorts, perhaps size up for a more comfortable fit.
