I liked my first Claudia Piñeiro so much, I tried another! This was another hit, although I enjoyed the concept and execution of Elena Knows more.
In this story, Marilé (now Mary) is coming back to Buenos Aires for the first time since fleeing to Boston 20 years ago. As the story unfolds we learn why she left and what happens when she returns. I guessed most of what I think was supposed to be a reveal later in the book, but it held my attention anyway. It's a book about trauma, accident vs tragedy, punishment, strained family bonds, and insular communities. Check the content warnings before you dive in. Four taters 🥔🥔🥔🥔/🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔
