A review by jessakunash
Prayers for the Stolen by Jennifer Clement

4.0

This novel was extremely shocking but, at the same time, seemed entirely honest. I am glad I got the opportunity to read a book that so vividly paints a portrait of an area such as rural Mexico- a place that, were not for the blurb of this book, do not believe I would have otherwise chosen read about.
I also really appreciated the exploration of how the harsh and unforgiving climate in which the women on the mountain were born and bred affected the way in they thought, spoke and behaved.
This is a powerful book.
