A review by hanntastic
Confession of the Lioness by Mia Couto
4.0
Global Read 21: Mozambique
It is kind of hard to give a review that doesn't spoil the gently unravelling plot. You do have to be prepared to sit with some confusion while you read it, but that's part of what drew me in. Both Mariamar and the hunter are interesting characters and I didn't prefer one story to the other which is unusual in books told from multiple voices. It isn't easy in the sense that it is very dark, but I did find it to be a page turner.
