My 2023 in Books

Book Of The Year

Mi favorito del año. Para mí, lo contiene todo: una voz que refleja la maestría de la autora en su oficio; temas profundos contemporáneos (desde cambio climático a compañías predadoras multinacionales); excelente storytelling, y un triángulo amoroso en el background (aunque ojo: el romance no es el centro, sólo un punto de partida - muy bien logrado). Sin embargo, lo anterior se cimienta en una exploración sobre los juegos de poder y, todavía más allá, la capacidad de total destrucción a nivel personal, social y ambiental de dichos juegos. El hecho de que el libro esté ubicado en Nueva Zelanda le dio puntos extra para mí, pero aún descontando eso, considero que ésta es una gran novela. No diré más porque vale la pena sumergirse sin saber mucho más. Aunque mencionaré que el final puede generar debate, y creo que algunos lo odiarán, y otros lo amarán. ¡Me encantaría discutirlo en un club de lectura!
