okay i understand the historical context. márquez greatly does his job in describing it.
and yes. this book is truly disturbing.
this book didn‘t give me enough explanations (yes, you can call me dummy, but they were truly needed here) to really form something in my head. i just felt uneasy and really bad for this little girl. that‘s it…

This is exactly what it seems, a “love story” between a twelve-year-old girl and a thirty-six-year-old, educated priest who abuses his power. WTF? He was clearly a gifted writer, which is why I gave this the benefit of the doubt, but I should have listened to my gut. I gave it one star, just in case this was a badly conceived and clumsy attempt at show don’t tell, because I felt all the disgust and rage, but the last paragraph (otherwise I would have DNF’d it) left me wanting to throw the book across the room.
