Piñata by Leopoldo Gout
4.5

“It’s such a strange thing, even perverse, to make children break something pretty to eat its entrails,”

Piñata by Leopould Gout 
Publication Date: March 14, 2023

QUICK SUMMARY 🖊️ 
Inspired by the true and horrific history. 
Carmen is back in her home country of Mexico with her two daughters while she works on rebuilding an old cathedral, being a woman is a roadblock in and of itself. Within short period she finds herself being sent home after an accident but something seems to have come home with them. 

FINAL THOUGHTS 💭 
This was one where I found myself at times thinking .. where is this going? It was a little slow to start, but the history written into this book kept me going with the story. And ending up loving it.
