Debut? Really? Amazing lyrical writing, masterful imagery, and massive creep factor. I love a book with a creepy house as a main character. It isn't always done well - Canas writing and portrayal of the Hacienda breathtaking.
Beatriz has suffered - the death of her father forcing her and her mother onto the charity of an uncle, and a hateful aunt. Desperate to escape and build a life, Beatriz marries Don Rodolfo - and brought to Hacienda San Isdoro.
The Hacienda echoes with the voices of generations- but the first wife of Rodolfo wreaks havoc, her spirit causing incredible terror.
With her husband in the capital, Beatriz begs for help. Answered by Padre Andres. As his grandmother's heir, Andres quietly assists his community- and comes to focus on Hacienda San Isdoro.
Great story, rich with local history and traditions.

Best book I've read this year. I was extremely sad that it had to end ♥️ The Hacienda was what I originally wanted in the disappointing Mexican Gothic. All the stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
