A lovely story with a superb narrative. M. O’Farrell has this ability of depicting the whole scene, the movements, reactions, and environment in a delicious way.

Amé la historia de Esmeralda y su turco narrada por ella misma. En la descripción de la vida con su familia que va dejando atrás va llenando las páginas de nostalgia. Esa nostalgia que, cuando la conoces, sabes a qué huele y cómo suena.
Su larga aventura con el turco nos va enseñando etapas y crecimientos con los que cualquiera se puede identificar.
Muy recomendable.

Very good stories, except for the balcony part, very well written, and easy to relate to the characters. The problem, for me, was the over achieving histrionism of M Zapata. Trying that hard to be funny is often counterproductive.

Very nice narrative and a great plot.
It is an enjoyable story with unexpected outcomes, not only at the end, but throughout the whole story.

The story could’ve been good, but falling into the cliché, or better say, the clichés of all thrillers is disappointing.
The characters are relatable, and the narrative enjoyable, the problem was the resolution.

Lo único malo es q el lector “hace voces”. Sí no fingiera tanto voces caricaturescas, se disfrutaría más.

La historia breve e intrigante de Lucrecia está magníficamente narrada por
Maggie O‘Farrell.
No se lo debe perder nadie.

The narrative is devastating, revealing, and necessary. It’s a very moving performance, and a cruel reality.

La historia es buena, entretenida y bien escrita, pero las situaciones descritas, con más detalles de lo que yo puedo disfrutar, son sumamente desagradables. Sí te engancha en la investigación, sí quieres saber el final, sí logra que te involucres en la historia, sin embargo es la historia misma lo que da horror.

This is not a good book about drugs and addiction. It’s deceitful since the beginning. Not recommended.
