McBride is a storyteller who patiently develops his characters and their relationships. The people in his novel are complicated, their strengths and weaknesses intertwine with the circumstances that unfold as the book moves along. It is the ending, the epilogue and the acknowledgements that grabbed me to give me a visceral experience of awe, pride and wonder wrapped up in an ending that exudes humanity.

So we’ll written! And suspenseful! I connected to Lydia, Luca, Soledad and Rebecca.
