An amazing literary thriller. It commits to an atypical structure, and creates such an overwhelming sense of dread. I wanted very badly for everything to be fine by the end, though it’s clear that nothing can be.

Well-written and creepy, but entirely over my head. I have no idea what happened.

Maternal love/ desperation, creepy children, witch doctor folklore and the horrors of the environmental devastation in Argentina? Excellent.

The narrative structure does a great job of being simultaneously elusive yet gripping. I desperately wanted to keep reading to better understand what the heck was going on.

He empezado disfrutándola mucho pero a medida que pasaba las páginas he ido alejándome de la historia. A ratos me parecía que los elementos mágicos iban a acabar por tener una explicación racional para que justo después se tratara de que "lo importante" se quedara en fantástico.

En pocas palabras: no me he creído la historia.

Tres estrellas porque sí he sentido la tensión durante casi toda la lectura y porque he pasado un rato agradable.

En el cine a que Carla anuncie que va a preparar limonada y le ofrezca un té a Amanda cuando esta entra en la cocina se le llama fallo de raccord. Hay cosas que no perdono.
