A while ago, I bought a Historical Fiction Book Box from Book Grocer and this was one of the books in the box. I’d heard absolutely nothing about it prior to (or since) reading it, so I was expecting it to be in the 2.5 to 3.5 range. I was quite wrong! This was written in an epistolary style and had alternating chapters of Estelita and her daughter Nina. It’s incredibly engaging and sets you up perfectly for the reveals that happen along the way. It’s uncomfortable to read at times and can have you feeling quite morose as the lives of the women unfold. While the writing is solid, it could have used an eagle-eyed editor. I’d recommend this one if you’d like a family saga type literary fiction set across country borders.
