Echoes of Grace by Guadalupe Garcia McCall

3.0

A book read to be coded for a project I'm working on; I love the exploration into generational trauma of Mexican women, specifically into traumatic sexual abuse and assault. It's something I've had conversations with my mom about and I thought this book was an interesting experiment on Gothic writing and the theme. I'm not a huge fan of the haunting trope that this book utilizes which is why it's a 3 and not a 4 star, but that's just personal taste. It is heavy, but it is also good and would be one I'd encourage readers to engage in a dialogue with.
