Velvet Was the Night by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

mothofpower's review against another edition

5.0

I really adored this! The writing is so evocative, but also really engaging and I definitely felt transported to Mexico City in the 1970s. Intense, but also really fun and pulpy. Can’t wait to read something else by Moreno-Garcia (and enjoying her spotify playlist of songs mentioned in the book)
