Cantoras by Caro De Robertis
3.0

Cantoras by Carolina di Robertis is the story of five queer womxn living in 1970s Uruguay while the country was under a repressive dictatorship, which limited peoples' social and human rights and persecuted (among other) the lgbtiq+ community.

Womxn, who love womxn, even when it's prohibited to do so, is the central part of this book and dealt with beautifully.

However, I can't get past the fact that it has been written with a foreign appetite in mind and has one too many stereotypes for my liking, even though it is set in my region of origin and takes place partly in my home country, Brazil.
