4.5
A complex and beautifully written book about understanding sexuality and gender, cultural assimilation and colonialism, the complexities of language, and the multifaceted nature of relationships (and the difficulty in having mixed feelings when in an abusive relationship - familial or romantic). This was so well written and I found it really easy to get into, and it did remind me a lot of 100 years of solitude in the cast of characters, the setting and the tapestry of interweaving storylines and perspectives. My only issue was that the last 10-15 pages felt too rushed and off pace with the rest of the book, and had it ended earlier/ been paced differently, I would’ve given it 5 stars.

I love the reimaging of The Guacho Martin Fierro. I love that a women who is a point in the original is fleshed out and given a beautiful love story with a women, who helps show her a world that she didn't know was possible.

I was always lost in thought, living in a daydream. Up until that point my life had been absent somehow. My life hadn’t been my own, maybe that was why I was always so far away, maybe not, I don’t know
