3.0

This book is told from multiple perspectives. I was moved by Maria's perspective of losing family to violence, drug addiction and illness. While Edgar's storyline became bizarre and the metaphors presented were quite overt, I still felt compelled by his story. The interjections from the spirit, Tsala, helped me step into a world filled with spirits. I found myself annoyed and confused by Sonya's story line.
