Sits squarely in the center of underground lesbians + South American dictatorships, without any real surprises. But they're good genres, and it's artfully done.

I enjoyed the first half of the book, but the tone and pace felt like it changed drastically during the second half and it was hard to keep my attention with the repetition of the reflections. Otherwise, it was very beautifully written.
