The Making of Yolanda La Bruja by Lorraine Avila

emotional sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix

4.0

this is such a good coming-of-age novel that explores the history of Brujería (witchcraft) particularly in the Dominican Republic, the power of ancestors, and of trusting ourselves. the ways we rely on each other, and how we care for one another. it’s rooted in tradition and culture and community. a really beautiful and wonderful book
