Welcome to Litsy!

Oh my goodness - spotted this in Foyles today. Gorgeous cover. I ♥️maps!

Happy Publication Day to this translated novel! Set in Spain, this book unfolds in vignettes in the lives of Maria & Alicia. Spanning decades, the connections between the women aren‘t initially clear though they eventually do. The premise, paired with its timely publication month, appealed to me but I think contextual details were lost to me in the translation. I‘m not fluent in Spanish history so the significance didn‘t always come across.

Translated from Spanish. Story of three women tied together by blood only. I found it just to be so-so. Maybe it lost something in the translation. It left things unfinished at the end. Maybe there's another book after this one🤷
