Temporada de huracanes (Hurricane Season)

Fernanda Melchor

A literary novel set in the fictional Mexican village of La Matosa, where the murder of a woman known as 'the Witch' is discovered by a group of children. Told through a cascade of interlocking, unpunctuated first-person perspectives, the book peels back the secrets, violence, and desperation of the townspeople connected to her death. It is a dark, unflinching portrait of poverty, machismo, and brutality in rural Mexico, written in an intense, breathless style. This is literary/horror fiction rather than a romance novel.
