I started the series adaption of the book now

So basically after the mom Ursula dies everyone else in the family started dying too

Ursula the matriarch of the family has lost touch with reality and seems to be exhibiting signs of Alzheimer’s, i feel like her death is near and when she is gone then the whole family is gonna completely fall apart more than it is now

when they bring up stuff about the war or political conflicts they have going on I get confused

i really liked the chapter about meme and her romance with Mauricio, I really thought her story would turn out different than the other family members but think not

I wanna say I’m understanding what’s happening so far, remedios was deemed to have linkage with death bc every man who met her died and she ended up going up to “heaven” or just rising into the sky so a bit of an opposing portrayal of her but I like the underlying religious symbols even in this magical town

Este libro cada vez me sorprende más porque muchas cosas raras que superan ese surrealismo como mítico o de magia, como en el capítulo que acabo de leer cuando uno de los gemelos hijos de no se que hermano ya se fue a confesar y dijo que había hecho “cosas malas” con animales

altas y bajas con este libro porque aveces de plano no entendió que está pasando con la guerra en esta historia.
