About this listen
John Phillip Santos won immense acclaim for his book Places Left Unfinished at the Time of Creation, a finalist for the National Book Award. In this beautifully written new book, Santos tells of how a family—his mother’s—erased and forgot over time their ancient origins in Spain. Blending genres brilliantly, Santos raises profound questions about whether we can ever find our true homeland and what we can learn from our treasured, shared cultural legacies.

What the critics say
"Santos’ novel is brimming with historical details, which he poetically enriches with myth, dream sequences, and conversations with helpful ghosts. While painstakingly pulling together the varied threads of his fictionalized family drama, Santos connects the story to the larger tale of global migration and racial intermingling." ( Booklist)
