Qué pinche obra maestra. 
Como casi ni hay puntos no puedes parar de leer. Te huracanas en la lectura. Es una novela narrada con una voz magnífica y con personajes impresionantes. Y tiene solo realidad escupida en sus páginas, aún así se siente todo hasta ridículamente fantástico, pero al mismo tiempo todo lo contrario. En fin, que me hace recordar esa idea de que Latinoamérica es el auge del realismo mágico.

"Hurricane Season" by Fernanda Melchor is a visceral and haunting novel that explores the brutal realities of violence, poverty, and misogyny in a rural Mexican village. The raw, unflinching narrative and richly textured prose immerse readers in a dark and compelling world, making it a powerful and unforgettable read.
