Welcome to Litsy!

Poe hovers over the top of this story of 3 generations of women and their unusual house. There are fantastical elements and perhaps fantastical powers. I wish it had pushed a little more, as I felt it was going somewhere and just didn‘t quite get there.

NBA longlist, translated literature

I'm not sure how I feel about this book. the writing is very descriptive and eerie, but not a lot happens. The disappearance of the boy referenced in the description happened in the past. I was hoping this would be more of a mystery story, but it was not. There is a lot of talk about the divide between the rich and the poor. It was hard to know if there were real spirits haunting the house, or if the women were mentally ill.

Just finished up this one. I was not sure I was going to like it but it captured me.

Still battling a mini reading slump but as expected the book with a Mariana Enriquez blurb (that was also already on my radar) is coming through.

This is the second book I bought on indie bookstore day 2024 I‘ve read so far and while they‘re both novellas (and I haven‘t actually finished this one yet) that‘s a win.
