One of the most stunning books I’ve ever read. The descriptions of love, desire, grief, anger are poetry come to life. 

I highly recommend if you want to be swept away by flowery metaphors and rich, emotional storytelling.

It is a slow starting book. I nearly DNFed it as I was a bit overwhelmed by the detail of the descriptions. But I was intrigued by the mystery of La Pradera and the power of the Nomeolvides women. I’m really glad I stuck it out. I think I just needed to adjust to the style of writing.
