This story is one of perseverance in continual strife, of finding moments of levity, and finding yourself. While some may find this to be too blunt, too intense, too dreary, the sad truth is that there are some journeys that seem like they are constantly uphill. This narrative is a constant weight, a constant shadow. And yet it is slightly inspiring in that in spite of all of the trauma faced by all of these characters, of all the compartmentalization they're forced to put on their brains just to keep moving-- they find a place to be, mostly, to keep taking that step. It is by no means hopeful. It leaves you feeling heavy and hurt. But it makes you want to yearn for everyone remaining to find a light.

Bellísimo y desolador, no puedo a leer más de la autora. La escritura es brillante y los personajes inolvidables. Los elementos de realismo mágico no me fueron ni vinieron personalmente, pero las transiciones entre el foco en la protagonista y las otras chicas lo hace polifónico y continuamente en movimiento de una forma que me encantó.

Una historia maravillosa que te aprieta el corazón, pero que al mismo tiempo ese amor entre penumbras y de noche te va cuidando.
Escucharlo en voz de la autora fue una experiencia maravillosa.

Es de los que quedan en la cabeza por un buen rato.
Muestra la realidad que se quiere borrar, por lo que deberia promoverse por todos lados.
Desgarrador, descriptivo y emotivo.
