No sé cómo describir este libro, es tan extraño. En primer lugar, la forma en la que está narrado, sin separación, como una continuación extensa que no tiene corte, de principio a fin. Odié esa estructura, es tan incómodo de leer, pero lo peor no es eso, es la forma en la que narra los diálogos sin establecer la persona qué habla, cambiar de escenario sin aviso, etc. Es una deformación de la estructura normal de novela, y entiendo que es la intención de la autora, pero no me gustó nada.
La historia en sí es interesante, pero debido a la forma de narración, se pierde mucho tema de discución. La pobreza, la marginación, el incesto, la poca educación, todo lo que rodea a esta madre y su hijo daba para una historia espectacular, pero se perdió todo en esta narración incómoda y poco práctica.

Too animalistic and incest. I’m afraid this one just not for me. One long chapter till the end with no paraphrase and paragraph break, and the switching between mother and son POV just confusing to be honest. Would like to revisit this someday and hoping I’ll love it better next time.
