This is an incredible read!

I loved the writing style and how the narration would switch between characters unannounced yet seamless. The inclusion of the Spanish phases were so simple yet gave you that little reminder and a sense of someone’s story being translated for you.

It’s extremely descriptive, I could almost feel the rumble of la bestia beneath me. This also made it a tough read at times, as you get so invested in the characters, some of whom go through unspeakable experiences. 

If you enjoyed (is that the right word for this type of book?) The Beekeeper of Aleppo then I think you’d enjoy this too. For me, this hits the mark whereas The Beekeeper felt like there was something missing.
