5/27/2023 0 Comments Of women and salt review![]() GOOD BITS: Gabriela Garcia knows how to write. ![]() However, I’ll totally round up on Goodreads! There were a few small issues – I wish it was longer with more historical sections and I was often confused at the jumps in time – which is why I’m giving it four and a half stars. While not all likeable, the characters were extremely engaging. The writing style blew me away and I couldn’t help but underline tons of quotes. The storyline jumps around so it’s hard to write a clear plot description but there’s a strong message about the role of women and complex families. ![]() ![]() Sitting somewhere between interlinked short stories and a literary novel, this book is incredibly powerful and emotional. When Jeanette decides to visit Cuba, discovering her family history ties together this fateful line of fearless women. In 2016, her granddaughter Jeanette is struggling to become free from drug addiction in Miami. ![]() One hundred years later, her descendant Dolores makes a fateful decision to save herself from an abusive husband as Fidel Castro’s forces take over the island. In 1866, Maria Isabel’s life is torn apart as her country experiences political upheaval. THE PLOT: ‘Of Women and Salt’ by Gabriela Garcia is a multi-generational narrative about women in a Cuban family. ![]()
