Just finished reading this and wow, I don't even know how to describe my feelings. Grisly with generous sprinkling of dark humor, and the people of the town is undeniably a bunch of doofus.

But I'm still confused on how Bayardo San Roman knew that Angela Vicario wasn't a virgin, did she tell him or did he just know when they both were consummating the marriage??? I mean, how do you even know if someone isn't even a virgin? I know about the concept of hymen and stuff, but I thought that there's no valid physical signs of virginity??
