Lives up to the hype? Read it if you’re up for an ever-unwinding family saga and some OG magical realism, don’t read it if you get frustrated keeping track of names or by problematic protagonists 😂 not for everyone

Intenté leer este libro hace muchos años y me exasperó el hecho de que todos se llamaban igual. Esta segunda vez disfruté mucho de la primera parte del libro y pude entender que sus destinos estaban sellados por los nombres, estaban condenados a repetirse.
Me gustó mucho cómo se manejó el tiempo como algo cíclico a pesar de que generalmente odio ese tipo de historias porque creo que forzar a los personajes a terminar en el mismo lugar en el que empezaron estanca su crecimiento y es un retroceso en la mayoría de los casos.
Sin embargo creo que es un libro DEMASIADO largo. La primera parte es muy entretenida pero los personajes de la segunda mitad no son tan interesantes como los de la primera.
Fernanda es insufrible y sus hijos también, la historia decayó a partir de que ella llegó.
Moderate: Adult/minor relationship, Animal death, Incest, Infidelity, Mental illness, Miscarriage, Pedophilia, Racism, Dementia, and Religious bigotry
