it was amazing

I just finished this whirlwind cocktail of a novel and I'm feeling lightheaded.  The raw humanity, the surreal spell, the body and the soul that bind the elements of this story together left me reeling.  The prose is both savage and tonally alluring.  The nucleus explodes with both revenge and spiritual evolution.  I let my Kindle translate the Spanish sections for me throughout 65% of the book.  For the final 35%, I let the motion and the physicality of the words guide me.  I didn't miss a beat.  Highly recommended.

Thomas Stroemquist Are you inflating my TBR again, Janie? Wait..."Spanish sections" you say? Maybe not, then... great review, anyway!


Janie The parts in Spanish add to the authenticity, Thomas. You should read it. :)
