The Curse of the Flores Women by Angélica Lopes
5.0

Okay, I loved this novel. The first chapter or so started slow for me, but I was hooked after that. I enjoyed the dual timeline that this story unfolds in. It occurred just frequent enough to where the story maintained its characters, their development, and my interest. As in, I didn’t feel all over the place with the story since it was told in two different timelines.

This was a unique story based upon real events happening in the world around that time. The independence of women for example. This book provided a great story, developed characters, and the importance of strong bonds between women trying to forge their own path.
