Really struggling to like this book. The writing is so beautiful and the magical realism a delight... but the brutal violence of the main male character and the frail, helplessness of the main female character is too much for me right now. Don’t think I can stick with them for the rest of the book. I’d rather just read a history book of Chile and a separate book about psychics and their mermaid sisters.
