"furia"'s main character camila contains the strongest voice for a main character i've read in a while. by the end of the book, i truly felt like i knew who camila was; she was allowed to have goals and a strong drive while also acting like a real person. what i mean is, camila is allowed to have a crush without it dominating her story, she's allowed to get her period without it being a big deal, she is able to casually mention the argentinian pro-choice movement without it becoming a major plot point, and she can deal with issues of poverty and misogyny and domestic violence without these issues dominating the book. the story is always primarily about *camila* and it is all the better for it.
the author's note at the end also provided excellent context to some of the word choices in the book and to argentinian culture.
the audiobook narration was a joy to listen to. sol madariaga truly encapsulated camila and i would love to listen to another book narrated by her.
thank you to netgalley and workman audio for an audio arc in exchange for an honest review.
