I’m so glad you enjoyed ‘Liliana’s Invincible Summer’ - it makes me want to get round to it soon! I think you could enjoy ‘Dead Girls’ by Selva Almada which also explores unsolved murders in South America. I read it last year and it was incredibly impactful and interesting. While it is about several unsolved murders, instead of focusing on one, it is equally enjoyable and interesting (in my opinion!)
I also read ‘Homesick’ last year!!! I love Jennifer Croft she is epic. I thought the way she formatted the vignettes was exceptionally well done, conceptually it was such a refreshing take on an illness memoir!
I agree about Homesick. The writing was so simple and at the same time poignant and the juxtapositions of past and present tied together through particular words, or images, worked to add so many layers of meaning. And thanks for the recommendation— I will keep that one in mind!

Glad to have read this, though it's painful. Beautiful quote from the artist about her husband. I'm so sorry about the loss of your cousin.
Thank you, Maria. I admire how she loves creatively, here and beyond. Appreciate you engaging here.
This was so beautiful all around. I am definitely going to read Liliana’s Invincible Summer soon.
For another audiobook that also has a sister story that I loved—Acts of Violet! It’s amazingly produced and has lots to think about.
