Nuestra parte de noche, Mariana Enriquez

I’ve been wanting to read this book for a while since I read La hermana menor, and I fell in love with both Silvina Ocampo and Mariana Enriquez. Her fourth novel Nuestra parte de noche —Our share of night— is dark, sharp, and somehow also tender. A book that one may think is a terror or fantastic story by its synopsis ends up being so much more than that, a ride-along Argentina and the context surrounding the character’s story, the country’s military dictatorship, the reality of rural life, religiousness, and politics. Mariana masters a mixture of genders and a complexity that left me only wanting to read more of her work.
