It took a bit for me to get into this book, but I really loved it and I'm excited to check out more of Castillo's smart, creative writing.⁣

This incisive feminist novel explores the lives of five women in a small New Mexican town, Sofi and her four fated daughters. We open on the death and resurrection of Loca, the youngest daughter, and Castillo begins to slowly build up a narrative entwining her original characters with spirituality and fierce commentary on many topics. ⁣Plus I'm still reeling from the searing queer storyline in this book! So much packed into this novel that provokes thought and discussion.
