Selected by Kirkus as a “Top Pick for Reading Groups”:
“Brave and witty . . . Tackling politics, gender, history, religion and Latin America studies with a surprisingly winning combination of laugh-out-loud humor and poignant chronicles of the chaos and devastation of a society fractured by civil strife, Cañón’s tale is as unique and inspiring as the wildly eccentric characters he creates to populate his ‘town of widows’. Readers will relish the finely crafted voices that resound in this immensely rewarding debut.”
