challenging emotional slow-paced

• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

mothers, daughters, sisters, grandmothers.  scarred in war, protected in ambiguity. an account of the civil war and it's aftermath in el salvador. this is a feat, if i had to muddle through a bit confused by the pronouns (characters were referred to only by their relations to eachother, not by name), but then, obscurity was the point, their relation to the collective their qualifiers.  Slash and Burn by Claudia Hernández and translated by Julia Sanchez.
