I can see how this wouldn’t be everyone’s taste but for me I really clicked with it. It was really gripping and sad and gorgeously written. It was chaotic in a way but again something about it worked for me. We get the story told from when Blanca was alive and how exactly she died, her ghost self in the present, George’s point of view. The plot is a bit thin I should warn you but I love character driven stories so it didn’t bother me. I also liked that this was so character driven. Even the way that the narrative is set up and told is odd but it worked. Simple enough right? Wrong! There’s so much more in between that simple plot and it had me thinking about things which I didn’t expect to do but I really enjoyed it. She falls in love with a married mother of two named George. This book is about Blanca, who died 400 years ago in childbirth but her spirit still walks the earth.
