This book has a beautiful cover which draws you to it straight away. This book is so atmospheric, starting with a world of stories and fables from Mexico, the culture threaded through each chapter. It is hard to say who this book is pitched for, it feels like a young adult fiction book but the themes are strong and it a long book with great writing.
