It Would Be Night in Caracas by Karina Sainz Borgo
4.0
if i had to describe it this book reminds me of rotten fruits and animal carcass but sm of the province and a touch of dystopian and worry of living in a country bound for destruction bc of its corrupt government and full of its ppl who are just trying to survive. this book is reminiscent of being a filipino. also i’ve been loving a good hispanic book lately !! perfect for the summer, utterly devastating and raw.
it further emphasizes the relationship adelaida has with her mother, the distance adelaida has put between herself and the new identity she has decided to take over. in the midst of chaos and smoke in the ruin of her country, it’s them against the world.
“For losing, we even lost our name. The Falcóns, queens of a world that was in its death throes.”
