A review by bookfey
Hadriana in All My Dreams by René Depestre
3.0
3.5 Stars
The second the zombie character's nickname was revealed, Nana, she immediately looked like Rhianna, the singer, in my head. It suited particularly how the author kept saying how beautiful she was.
This book would make a good book club read with it's multiple layers. Some of the of passages were a bit wordy for me, which is more of a me problem. Sometimes one is not in the mood to hear every single flower in the garden described.
The voodoo magic descriptions were cool as well as the carnival. I went online and looked up some videos of carnival in Jacamal. I highly recommend doing that for fun.
I would maybe reread this if I came across it someday in the far future. At least then I would know what was going on from the beginning of the book. Yes, the beginning was a bit confusing but it sorta course corrects itself.
