![]() ![]() The novel is written around the brutal murder of a witch in a nightmarish village somewhere in Mexico. From the 4 titles that I’ve read so far this is my favorite. ![]() A book that makes you feel so uncomfortable and unpleasant but also mesmerizes you and locks you in, deserves all the stars (and the Booker International prize as a bonus. I had a heaviness in my chest while I was reading most of this short novel. However, I could not stop reading, I was in trance every time I opened my kindle, It was like I was the one on drugs not the characters. It’s violent, it’s grim, the language is dirty, the prose is intense, there is rape, minor abuse, sex, drugs, murder, violence towards homosexuals, poverty, whores, lots of booze, too much of everything that should disgust me. Shortlisted for 2020 International Booker Prize ![]()
