Hello, welcome to this weeks blogpost, and technically the last post about an actual book, this week I read “Faces in the Crowd” by Valeria Luiselli. I had some pretty high expectations for this book, partially for being one of the last ones of the semester, but mainly because it was written by a Mexican …

Hello all, welcome to another blog, this time we will be talking about “The Shrouded Woman” by María Luísa Bombal. Honestly I was incredibly surprised by this book, I had heard about the book and thought it was interesting but I didn’t think it would be the kind of book I would loose myself in, …
