The writing was absolutely beautiful and evoked such a strong sense of place, but I ended it wanting a bit more. I enjoyed the themes and ideas it tackled, like trying to reconstruct/find your mother when she has been unknowable and how Mexican and Indian history echo each other. But it was one of those where when it ended I was just kind of like, well okay?? It was very solid and incredibly quick to read, so I’d recommend it even if I wish it was maybe a bit longer.
