Weep, Woman, Weep by Maria DeBlassie
4.0
This is a modern-Mexican "Things Fall Apart" from a woman's perspective with a hint of magic.
I enjoyed it very much
It was different from what I usually read because it felt like a memoire of a woman coming to her strength, telling her own story
and as someone with similar background, it always amazed me how different cultures separated by oceans could be so much similar.
"he stopped going
to her at night because she couldn′t produce a son,
the only kind of child that mattered. "
my only critique is that I wished that the writer did not have to explain the situation so forward and just let us as readers figure it out.
