No se, no se… quizás me falta experiencia. Estoy regresando a la literatura en español después de muchos años… de no leer en general, y de leer en otros idiomas. A pesar de lo claramente escrito, no me pude conectar con el libro. Quizás lo mío, no es el terror literario 😨 Lo leeré de nuevo conforme avance en mi plan maléfico de leer un libro de cada país
Content Warnings
Graphic: Classism, Colonisation, Terminal illness, Sexual violence, Slavery, Racial slurs, Rape, Trafficking, and Pregnancy

Moody and contemplative, as a good ghost story should be.
The format is almost dream-like, which is onteresting to read and adds to the tension I think.

We lose the thread of the son somewhere in the middle, which I think ultimately makes this too loose of a story.
