Such a good read. Read from the perspective of Elena, a mother searching for answers surrounding her daughter’s death. It’s main themes are around the control women have over their bodies and other’s bodies as well as the role that religion plays. Elena’s poetic reflections about her past and her current life grappling with grief and her illness was lovely to read.
