Summarizing my reading notes, the book reminds me of a TV at a store showing 4k landscapes - beautiful, you can admire it.
Magical realism is integrated into the story in a way that makes it confusing, and the presentation of the timeline - I assume it's linear, but I couldn't identify it completely - also left something to be desired.
Despite everything, Andrea Del Fuego's writing transported me to Serra Negra, and I could clearly imagine the scenes and settings, the smell of coffee when Nico fell into the coffee maker (?!), the sound of the water reaching the valley. I recommend it only if you want a light read, without substantial expectations.
