What a rollercoaster. Felt like I lived 3 lives. Never read SO MUCH PLOT in one book. Nice to read about Latin America. Nice to finally meet my namesake as well. The first 3/4 is ahh what a quirky family the last 1/4 is
the horrors of war.
Sort of like Encanto but super fucked up. Will read it again in 20 yrs.
