2023 International Latino Book Award Winner

A TODAY.COM MOST ANTICIPATED LATINX BOOK OF 2022!

Three sisters. Three vastly different lives. A maelstrom of family secrets. For fans of Maria Amparo Escand n and Laurie Frankel, Margo Candela pens a riotous, provocative tale of family and sisterhood.

Growing up with a kind but alcoholic father and a suspicious, passive aggressive mother, the Bernal

sisters each developed their own way of coping- Dulcina had her art and drugs and alcohol, Claudia plunged into her studies and fled to Princeton, and Maritza watched one Disney movie after another in between devouring romance novels.

Now all grown up, the sisters are reunited at last for Maritza's dream wedding. But they are no less different than they were growing up- Maritza is a princess bridezilla, Claudia is the family ""fixer,"" and Dulcina ""Dooley"" is finally sober.

With all three Bernal sisters back in their East L.A. home, each begins to take steps to come to terms with each other, their parents, and the secrets from their shared past. While their lives may have taken different paths, they are still sisters at heart.

Told in alternating points of view, The Neapolitan Sisters is a humorous yet moving look at what it means to be a sister, daughter, and ultimately, your own self, despite the pressures that come with being part of a family.

Reviews for The Neapolitan Sisters: A Novel

Praise for The Neapolitan Sisters: A TODAY.COM MOST ANTICIPATED LATINX BOOK OF 2022 Margo Candela returns with a bang. In The Neapolitan Sisters, she explores with wit, wisdom, and humor, the strong bonds of sisterhood and delivers a powerful story of family drama. -Maria Amparo Escandon, New York Times bestselling author of L.A. Weather Margo Candela deftly delivers an engaging dynamic page-turner of a book about the interior lives of three strong women. The Neapolitan Sisters are each a delight, as vibrant, selfish, beautiful, ever-shifting, and redeemable as the city of Los Angeles herself. I would follow them anywhere-even in rush hour traffic. -Staci Greason, actor, award-winning screenwriter, and author of All The Girls in Town Beautifully written and full of heart, The Neapolitan Sisters offers an insightful look at relationships of all kinds-but mainly the one that exists between sisters. I loved watching each of the three women on their journeys, sometimes separate and sometimes together, as they butted heads, found their way, and, ultimately, looked out for each other. Real, funny, and moving! -Suzy Krause, author of Sorry I Missed You
