Liliana's Invincible Summer: A Sister's Search for Justice by Cristina Rivera Garza

emotional reflective medium-paced

4.5

I don't usually do memoirs (although not sure this is totally a memoir?) but The Stacks and Lupita Reads raved about it so I thought I'd give it a try.  I struggled to engage with the narrative style and pacing of the first part of the book and it picked up with the narration of Liliana's life and especially her years at college. Garza's use of interviews with Liliana's friends, journal entries, writings and letters made for a novel and compelling approach to story-telling. It is a heavy read and absolutely worth it.
