Woman of Light by Kali Fajardo-Anstine

emotional medium-paced

3.0

I really enjoyed this historical fiction with a hint of magical realism. I really liked that the female main character can read tea leaves and has visions of her ancestors as they arrived to certain parts of the land and how it lead to where her family is now. I loved the topics that were discussed in this book such as racism, feminism, classism, and misogyny. You get to really see from each characters perspective how they are impacted individually in those areas. The book was well written and I enjoyed the journey I just wish there was more emphasis on the connection Luz had with her visions and her ancestors. I feel it got lost while focusing on other characters. Overall it was a great read for me!
