Of Women and Salt

For such a short book, it took me forever to get through. As many other reviewers have shared, the switching between perspectives and years makes it difficult to place events together. The author oftentimes abandons the use of quotation marks in dialogue as well, which can be confusing.

Overall, it is a good book about the strength of women immigrants. There are some exceptionally symbolic stories and quotable moments that make the story really stand out such as when Gloria grieves how her daughter was brought into this world.
