Breezed through this short, complex novel and really enjoyed it, despite that it is sad. It felt a little lurchy towards the end as certain threads needed a little more fleshing out for me, although I appreciated that the author didn't waste a single word here. The temptation among many debut writers is to overwrite and produce 400 page novels, so I admire Gabriela García's courage to leave out as much as she did. There is so much room for her to grow into an even better storyteller and I am very interested to see what her next direction is.
