I think this is a book that, for lack of a better term, wasn't written for me.  There were things that I could take from it, like the feminine rage and the introspection on female relationships with their families and friends, but it just didn't connect with me on a super deep level.  I also found myself far more interested in Zoe than Feliciana, which made her chapters much harder to get through.  I'm glad to have read it, but I don't know how much I actually enjoyed the process.

"All women are born with a bit of bruja in them, for protection"

Challenging to read in places - for both content and writing style - but worth the read for the strong feminist themes. Feliciana is a strong role model.

Author tries to carve her own story telling, circular and reflective in nature. First third and last third I could not put the book down, excellent writing and reflections. The middle was not paced as well, which is why I demoted to below 4.
