Machado is an excellent storyteller. At no part in the collection did I feel like skipping a story or glazing over bits and pieces, she had me hooked from the very beginning and I was more than enrapt in her diction. A truly beautiful novel and an excellent collection. I look forward to reading more by her in the future.
