Wow, this was such a pleasant (or unpleasant). Read the blurb expecting a nuanced witch hunt story but ended up with so much more. This novel is graphic and raw and covers a number, if not almost all trigger warnings but paints such a vivid picture of a violent and poor Mexican village full of injustices and superstitions and how the towns people suffer in this environment.
