The prose of Fernanda Melchor is outstanding, as well as, her bravery showing such horrible scenarios of life in the village of Mexico. I need to be very clear that this book is a hard piece to read, it deals with very serious topics of violence and assault in al most every page of the book.

Una chulada de libro pero está pesadísimo (está cortito pero me tardé como un mes leyéndolo por lo mismo). Si lo puedes aguantar, es simplemente brillante y habla sobre algo que es de todos.
