One of the best things I got from my time in Mexico was a recommendation to read Hurricane Season. Wow. What can I even say about this? It reads like water, it just carried you through this world of mystery, suspicion, pain and colour in such an easy way. It's a masterclass in storytelling, with such sophisticated characters and worldbuilding that I have just been ranting and raving to everyone who'll listen. Incredible stuff. I can't wait to see what Ms Melchor will do next.
