Luciano is Carline and Nelson’s infant son. He’s born several weeks after Papi dies. Luciano comes several weeks early, so he’s a tiny baby who struggles to breathe from the moment he’s born. Despite being warned that the baby likely won’t survive, Carline names her son anyway. By the end of the novel, when he’s about five weeks old, Luciano seems likely to survive. His good outcome is attributed to Tía’s ability to work miracles and call on the Saints for help.
