pick3.5 out of 5. Very interesting learning about Puerto rican history through this fictional book. Downside, too much Spanish with no translations but the author is unapologetic about using this style of writing. It does not take away from the story but it might deter some from picking this up.
I‘m deeply absorbed in this historical fiction, focused on one family in Puerto Rico, and the effects of generations of colonialism, both Spanish and American. An historic hurricane compounded the situation, and it‘s so, so sick that it reads like an account of the current situation in Puerto Rico. This novel highlighted fascinating connections to Hawa‘ii as well. I appreciated the variety in pacing; it read very quickly - highly recommend.✨
Just finished this gorgeous book! I really enjoyed this beautiful and heartbreaking story. Binx was there for moral support ❤️🐾 (Also, he did that to himself.)
