Wow. This book was recommended to me by a friend, and my introduction to magic realism. Did not disappoint. I love Úrsula so much. It was so adventurous and insane and grotesque but amazing. It was a little hard to follow all the similar names, but I love how authentic it was with the patronymics. It felt so real. Reminded me a lot of Crime and Punishment in the utter labyrinth and journey this book takes you on. Very fun but also not haha.

That was a slog! Despite not having a clue what was going on most of the time and needing to look at the family tree almost every few pages I couldn’t not finish it.

I enjoyed this book a lot and it changed a lot about how I look at things. Beautifully written, very thoughtful and relatable, really created a growing love for Latin literature in my heart.

Es una historia imersiva que premia la memoria y los conocimientos que el universo dentro del libro entrega, la escritura se siente innovadora para la época, te hace querer vivir en el realismo mágico que experimentan, y efectivamente entiendo el hype.

A book you can’t stop thinking about even after you finish it. I might reread it! Great storytelling and so much symbolism and parallelism.
