A review by janineg
Like a Fading Shadow by Antonio Muñoz Molina

4.5

the book I bought in Porto. this book was really good, thought provoking, and told an important story. I liked how it switched from 1st, 2nd, and 3rd person and also how the story was a biography and a history book at the same time. it got slow at times but I enjoyed how it talked about Lisbon and Madrid and Spain and that part made me happy. I didn’t like the end because it switched to MLKs perspective after talking in JER perspective the whole time. It also tried to comment on social justice and racism in America but the author is Spanish so it didn’t quite work.
