This book is a dive into the culture of Latin America as well as a generational study of a family between DC and USA. In addition, there are also some magical realism aspects that add a little bit to the plot, but they don't take up much space and therefore I wouldn't describe this book as fantasy. I found the initial idea of the book very fascinating and innovative, but the plot moved very slowly and some parts were a bit boring in my opinion. Fortunately, I soon got attached to the family and its members, and this made the overall experience way more enjoyable, because it kept me interested in what they were going through despite of how the story was paced. Moreover, I liked how the author was able to show many aspects of this culture which get ignored. In fact, despite me not feeling completely comfortable during the many discussion around sexuality and pleasure, I can recognize how important it is to talk about this topics in the book's circumstances.
