Hooooo boy Silvia Moreno-Garcia never disappoints 🖤.
Mexican Gothic is an atmospheric tale about a fiery socialite, Noemi, who receives a letter from her recently married cousin asking for help at her husband’s mountainside manor. Noemi’s journey is fraught with references to colonialism, misogyny, and eugenics, so take care while reading. Noemi is a fantastic main character who is rational, charming, and realistic; she definitely has earned a top spot in my favorite horror fmcs!
Mexican Gothic was a great read! A lot of heavy stuff is covered, but I loved the relationships Noemi has with Francis and Catalina. I think the metaphors and symbolism got a little heavy handed after a bit, but that’s my only complaint.
