Uma completa loucura este livro, ainda preciso digerir tudo...

Thiago’s grief over losing this wife opens him up to an inheritance of a demon passed down through the generations.
What I loved most about this book is that you get to put together the pieces of what is happening through Thiago’s experiences before and after his Wife, Vera’s, death.
I also love this conversational writing style that makes incredibly accurate and interesting observations on the human experience.
Here’s what I think the story is…
The demon hunting Thiago has been attached to this family for generations. We aren’t told why it’s suppressed but I believe it has been and moving into the apartment where the old woman Fidelia has done a ritual. That unleashes the demon into the apartment and sparks all of these events.

raw grief paired with Mexican horror. your heart will break for the protagonist over and over again. “The maddening part of the last few months wasn’t that you were dead, but that you hadn’t been obliterated from the world. I could still sense you. The days were watermarked with your face. Your absence felt less like nonexistence and more like we were both in the same house but in separate rooms, cut off by the flimsiest door.”

This was a very dark and unsettling book but above all, it was a book about grief. Thiago's grief was a painfully living thing and he carried it with him from the first page of this book till the end.
