Paloma is dead. But before she was murdered, before she was even Paloma, she was a traditional healer named Gaspar. Before she was murdered, she taught her cousin Feliciana the secrets of the ceremonies known as veladas, and about the Language and the Book that unlock their secrets.

Sent to report on Paloma's murder, Zoe meets Feliciana in the mountain village of San Felipe. There, the two women's lives twist around each other in a danse macabre. Feliciana tells Zoe the story of her struggle to become an accepted healer in her community, and Zoe begins to understand the hidden history of her own experience as a woman, finding her way in a hostile environment shaped by and for men.

Weaving together two parallel narratives that mirror and refract one another, this extraordinary novel envisions the healer as storyteller and the writer as healer, and offers a generous and nuanced understanding of a world that can be at turns violent and exultant, cruel and full of hope.

I liked the characters and story but the title is very misleading. Still it was a nice listen with good themes.

Good Story but not Witchy

Interesting story but not quite what I was expecting based on the title. This is a mostly story about a Muxe, male at birth who behave and dress as women.

Title doesn’t reflect story

I loved the way the book was layout. Even though the translation was kn English I felt it didn’t loose any of its components. I love the words they did choose to leave in Spanish and it was heartwarming to hear about my beloved culture.

Excellent
