Fish Soup by Margarita García Robayo

challenging dark reflective sad medium-paced
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

Beautifully written and carefully observed, but I found every story quite depressing and  hopeless, and the main character of each story always seems deeply nihilistic or fatalistic. This reflects their living situations quite beautifully, but it's not an uplifting read and the characters seem to go through little development.
