The second novel of Alvarez and I’m still not a fan. Alma as a character doesn’t seem to have her own sense of self outside of writing and figuring out her father’s secrets. Filomena was the star of the novel and her stories kept me reading, but it wasn’t enough to save the book.

The triplets writing their own version of events was perfect and told the story seamlessly.

She’s so annoying because as an educated woman, just LEAVE. John had to force her out. She acknowledged she was a single mom in a marriage yet stays. The writing was really well done but it may be a Gen Z perspective that it’s better to be single than being destroyed in a relationship.
