Desde el primer capítulo, Fernanda te atrapa con un estilo de escritura ágil y que te sumergirá en la historia como si tú fueras solamente un vecino más del pueblo en el que se desarrolla la historia.
La autora relata tan bien la dinámica social en Latinoamérica, que si tu familia te trata de la patada, que la pobreza, que aunque sea con prostitución la gente busca ganarse sus pesitos, el odio a las llamadas "brujas", la homofobia, el body shaming del que nadie se salva, el alcoholismo tan común, la misoginia, la corrupción de las autoridades; la mentalidad religiosa, la del no creyente y la "brujería"; el robo y la violencia, pero al mismo tiempo, el sentido de comunidad que tenemos los latinos.
Como dice la sinopsis, es: una novela cruda y desgarradora en la que el lector quedará envuelto, atrapado por las palabras y la atmósfera de terrible, aunque gozosa, fatalidad.
Everything about this book feels like home. I can only feel sorry for those who won't be able to read it in Spanish.
