River Woman, River Demon: A Novel Tekijä: Jennifer Givhan
Note to self, you quit at 65% and should have stopped earlier. It only got worse. Main problem was the main character.
Beautiful story and setting, but it is very difficult at times that our Chicana Nancy Drew patently refuses to ask the right questions. Reading it feels like the depressed fog that she is in, seeing what should be done, and then watching yourself not do it.
This was a community read near me, so I picked it up without knowing much. I saw it was maybe for fans of Mexican Gothic....I don't think that's the right comparison. This is kind of a murder mystery with a lot of cultural reference and magick. The characters were not exactly lovable, but I think their motivations were understandable. The resolution to some of the mystery surrounding the murder was a little hand-wavey, but given the rest of the book that's not hard to accept. I did enjoy the look into a diverse family with a much different belief system from my own.… (lisätietoja)
Thoroughly predictable story. Really couldn't stand Eva.
