Finished reading: The Hacienda by Isabel Cañas 📚

Great all the way through but extra compelling for the last third. Like Mexican Gothic, it uses Gothic tropes of a spooky house and a mysterious husband to interrogate colonialism in Mexico. Highly recommend.

@KimberlyHirsh Thanks for sharing this recommendation! I loooooved "Mexican Gothic", so it's exciting to hear about a book that's kind of similar 😃

@jayeless It's a different time period and some different vibes but I think people who like that will like this, too. It's kinda like if Noemi's cousin were narrating and the intergenerational creep factor isn't as immediate. I like this and I love Mexican Gothic.
