I recently
ran across a strange little book at the local library. When I say little, the book is actually only
5x7 inches, one hundred and twenty pages with large print.
Carlos
Fuentes is a well-known Mexican writer, though I had never read any of his
books.
The story
takes place in Mexico City and is a first person account of a strange and
macabre story involving a lawyer and his family and a new arrival in the city
that creates a cloud of suspicion and dread that threatens to tear his family
apart.
It is a
captivating read and leaves you wishing you could discuss the ending with
someone.
An
unsettling story that will remain on my mind for some time.

Spanish or translated? Just curious...
