The war had made the world bitter and difficult; it had taken family members and neighbors away, and threatened to snatch more people each day.

I really like the atmospheric writing of Silvia Moreno-Garcia. The way she manages to pack a punch in such a short tale is astounding. It was also super cool to learn that this is a fictionalization of things and events from her great-grandmother’s life.
