The story was slow at points, and I had to set page goals to keep myself from putting it down in the beginning. That being said, the last 1/3 of the book made it a worthy read.

What a fantastic story of women loving women in Uruguay. I learned a lot of history. I felt seen. I really love that this story exists in the world. I had a hard time following so many characters but I still definitely loved it. I think anyone who’s ever loved a woman needs to read this book!

An incredible, fascinating, deeply human story of friendship and chosen family in the face of extraordinarily difficult circumstances. It may be fiction but it's clear how deeply based this is on real stories of queer resilience and creativity.

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!
