Reviews with content warning for Suicide - Cantoras

Beautiful, intriguing, breathtaking! I loved every moment I got to spend with these women. I loved getting absorbed in their lives and experiences with one another, through love unto freedom!

This book gave me a sense of hope and relief that something so beautiful has been written and made available by my local librarv. I have always been an activist at heart and in reading this book, I felt like a lifetime could come with greater reward than I had imagined.

This is a tale of triumph over tribulations and bravery. This is a book that needs to be on my bookshelf!

nie potrafię słowami opisać tego co ta książka ze mną zrobiła, jednocześnie złamała mi serce, a potem otoczyła je pluszowym kocem, żeby się wyleczyło

Phenomenal writing complimenting a compelling story, an unexpected gem of a novel! The characters were wonderful and I really enjoyed the strong sense of place throughout the novel. I think my only complaint was how Malena’s character/story was handled, I understand why we didn’t get her POV until the end of the book, but I just don’t think that did her character or the larger story justice. Beyond that, this was probably one of the best works of historical fiction I’ve read!

I would love to write an eloquent review for this book but I can't even find a beginning.

It's heartbreaking, hopeful and beautiful with characters and found family dynamics that will stay with me for a while. The writing, especially the descriptions of the ocean, are also very impactful.

This book took me a few weeks to finish, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I wanted to savor every page. This book touched me deeply with its authentic portrayal of sapphic love when life and death depended on its secrecy. This book is beautiful, heartbreaking, moving. I don’t know if a non-queer person would truly appreciate it, but I think it’s a mandatory read for all sapphics out there.

Heads up, read the trigger warnings for this one. Definitely some heavy topics.
