Realismo mágico en su esplendor. Reflexiones sobre la muerte y una prosa muy bella.

One of the best novels I’ve read.. if you can read Spanish, I implore you to read this in its original language you won’t be disappointed 🧎🏽‍♀️

This was my first re-read of the year (of a novel at least) and my first time reading in English. Definitely more evocative and haunting in the original but it was still an immensely enjoyable read, and the translation was good. A wonderful, wonderful novel.

Siento que el libro es bueno seguramente pero no lo pude disfrutar tanto, hubo momentos en que disfrute mucho leerlo pero tambien hubo otros en los que estaba muy confundido para pasarlo bien, creo que mi decisión de tenerlo como libro para leer en la micro fue mala idea porque siento que gracias a eso me costo entenderlo mas. Ademas que no leí tan seguido como otros meses entonces cuando volvia al libro no recordaba bien las cosas y me confundia más aun. Quizas algun dia lo pueda leer con el cuidado que necesite y lo pueda disfrutar más, pero en este momento de mi vida quiero pasar a otros libros.
