Hurricane Season

Dive into the heart of rural Mexico with Fernanda Melchor’s “Hurricane Season.” This gripping novel, translated by Sophie Hughes, plunges into the aftermath of a brutal murder. When the Witch, the alleged sorceress of La Matosa, is found dead, rumors and suspicion ignite the town.

Melchor’s powerful prose explores the dark underbelly of poverty, machismo, and societal decay. Through a chorus of voices ? children, lovers, and those who profited from her supposed magic ? the truth behind the Witch’s life and death slowly unravels. This haunting and unforgettable story offers a raw and unflinching look at violence and its ripple effects on a community.
