A review by truleejenann
Una casa de flores by Truman Capote

5.0

As I stated in the Diamond Guitar review, there is a story-telling melody-esque vibe here. Predictable, but sometimes that makes it more beautiful. Otillie’s journey ends but you feel satisfied. She made the right choice for her and that’s really all that matters. While reading this, I thought about whether or not it would be appropriate to read to a child. Stories like this, with “adult references” tend to be stowed away, but here, I feel like it’s safe enough to still keep a child innocent in a similar way that Disney handles these kinds of topics. To me, a story is a story, and I would like to expose my future children to all kinds with different people and themes.
