A tale of twisted fates and intertwined family histories, told through the eyes of a child. Suffocating in the heat, throat stuffed with flower blossoms, this book really sucked me in from page one.

this book is dark and unsettling. in a good way 

it’s a reflection on how a child might navigate and be impacted by their mother’s depression. how we can only hide the truth from children for so long, how they seek to understand, like we all do. how the lack of connection, of deep and meaningful relationships, makes us feel empty and leaves us in desperate search of something that makes us feel alive. of the way our ghosts never stop haunting us until we confront them, face them head on

Me ha gustado pero me ha sabido a poco… me esperaba más juego entre los paralelismos de los abismos naturales e íntimos. La voz narrativa de la protagonista (una niña pequeña) es interesante pero a la vez, en el juego con los símbolos naturales, me ha resultado un tanto impostada. Se queda en un bien, pero ya.
