The blurb and the gorgeous cover made me request this ARC, the brilliant plot kept me hooked.
I think that women are bringing back South American literature and Brenda Lozano did an excellent job in delivering this fascinating story that mixes tradition, magic realism, politics, and a pinch of paranormal.
It’s a story of different women: a curandera, a Muxe, a journalist and their voices tells their story letting us know how they face the pros and cons of their position in a society that can love or despise them.
Feliciana was my favorite character and I learned something new about an ancient tradition. Ms Lozano did an excellent job in developing these women and giving them a distinct voice.
It was a fascinating and riveting read, strongly recommended.
Many thanks to MacLehose Press and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
