Magical realism meets the prison system makes for a beautiful, haunting, and deeply sad read. Though somehow there’s hope too, maybe?

While it’s not graphic in the traditional sense, take care and make sure to check the content warnings to get a sense of things.

Beautiful prose for such a haunting story. This is not a book to be read lightly. However, if you can make it through, it’s an incredible read. I have no words.
