Monstrilio by Gerardo Sámano Córdova
4.0

Achingly beautiful and painful. A great depiction of how physical loss is; how unbelievable and unmanageable grief is. The book did not judge its flawed characters nor did it try to excuse actions made by them.

It was depicted in 4 parts over time, so you were going through a journey with each character. The writing was amazing. The story unique and unexpected. Still, it is definitely a book I will reread.
