Witches by Brenda Lozano weaves two disparate narratives together in a gorgeous — if violent — illustration of life in Mexico. Feliciana, a famed curandera living in rural Oaxaca whose teacher and cousin has just been murdered, and Zoe, a young journalist from Mexico City, come together as storyteller and writer; as two women living in a world made for men.
Ahh, yes!! I had a hunch you would like this one! I first heard about it on the NYT book review podcast and thought "that's a book I have to read." I found it leaned a bit literary for my own taste but I was completely overtaken by the prose.
I agree, I also love all the recommendations from others! And this sounds like a wonderful book!
Isn't it the best?! I was sad when I returned Witches to the library. I loved it that much!

You nailed it! I loved it so much. I read it in like 3 days. Thank you for bringing it to my attention!
