A review by noella_t
Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
3.0
The book was slow at the beginning, Noemi is facing all sorts of trouble after she goes to visit her newly-married cousin. How she did not recognize the problem while stating the obvious is beyond me. I suppose it was the influence of the house. The repetitions of the fungus in the house became almost boring until it wasn't.
Spoiler:
I found it hard to believe that, while she kept mentioning the fungus that seemed to permeate the house, she failed to recognize what it was doing to her. I kept thinking very early on in the book that that house needed to be burned to the ground!
I read this for a book club, had I known the direction it was headed, I would have avoided it. Not my cup of tea at all.
