“We cannot know the depths of another’s sacrifice,”
This could be your loss. But it’s not. It’s mine, and you might think you’re lucky, but for every lucky person, unluckiness arrives. Our existence shouldn’t depend on luck. It should depend on justice, what is good, what is right.
A slow-paced, character driven story of five generations of a a Mexican/Indigenous family in Denver Colorado.
I really liked the back and forth between generations! It took a second for it to make sense and it was non-linear but I liked being able to connect the stories and characters.
I wanted to cry near the end for what happened to the family. Every generation had their own world-shattering problem and it was so personal.
I felt the ending was a bit abrupt though and I would’ve liked more details, but the last sentence was beautiful.
