rep: Peruvian queer mc in a polyam relationship, Peruvian characters, Spanish sapphic character, sapphic characers of color
tw: racism, mentions of suicide
this sure was an unexpected last book of the year. it's tiny, but packs a lot. it's about literally learning about your very roots (in this case, white colonialist-discoverer), and learning and caring for your heritage. about discovering those whom history forgotten. about listening to those who are still around you. about not assuming anything, but also maybe trusting yourself more than strangers. about desire; oh it is so deeply about desire, and how it complicates your life, how it makes it rich.
