A review by medievaljuliana
Leaving Tabasco by Carmen Boullosa

3.0

"Fragmentary" is not a bad word in my vocabulary to describe a narrative, but I prefer it when my stories pair that with something else that keeps me grounded. The episodes are all interesting and you do get a sense of character progression but, unfortunately, I only grew to really like the protagonist of this towards the 3rd third of the book.

The last chapter, though, that one hit *hard*.

If you wanted Disney's Encanto to be grittier, I guess this will be right up your alley (with no oruguitas, though).
