Me ha encantado la novelita. La construcción del mundo, los personajes, sus motivaciones... Es la primera obra que leo de este autor (que también escribió 'De ratones y hombres' y 'Las uvas de la ira') y tengo claro que repetiré en un futuro. Se lee en un par de horas.

A Mexican fairy tale reworked and retold by one of my favorite story tellers. At its heart, it is a story about the evil that comes from wealth, but it's also a story of the perils living in a society rigged against you. But is the novel saying that there is no way out for Kino and Juana? There is no way to fight the system, because it will screw you over? I don't think that's the intended message, but it lends itself to an interesting discussion.
