A tense, disturbing, lyrical haunted house story, in which the ghosts, angels, and saints are constant residents, invited there by their own rage and sorrow. I'm still not entirely sure what happened in the end. The dual narrators, both of whom are to some degree unreliable, is part of it, but that seems intentional. The impression I get is of two people with wildly different perspectives pleading for the readers' understanding and sympathy.

Me encantó el libro. Al principio descoloca la forma de escribir por la falta de ciertas comas, pero te acostumbras después de un capítulo. La ambientación te atrapa en esa casa llena de fantasmas y resentimientos en un pueblo con dinámicas muy realistas. Es una historia grotesca sobre mujeres, clases y venganzas, con menciones también a traumas sociales como desapariciones y la posguerra.
