Spirits of the Ordinary: A Tale of Casas Grandes by Kathleen Alcalá

2.0

The writing of this book is quite good, and it reads decently well as historical fiction from an area and perspective that I have never seen: Mexico, Jewish, 18th century. However, the writing just does not hold my interest in terms of style- but that is just me. It reminds me of Barbara Kingsolver, or that book, The Name of The Rose. Certainly well written, worthwhile, you learn something...but just not for me.
