Human Sacrifices
by María Fernanda Ampuero
challenging
dark
emotional
mysterious
reflective
sad
tense
Loveable characters:
Complicated
Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
None of these stories were easy to read. There is a lot of brutality and cruelty, but they also have much empathy for the flawed and often insufferable characters. Some are terrifying and others are heartbreaking. They are all going to stick with me for the rest of my life. I am definitely going to read more from this author.
