Review of 'La perla' on 'Goodreads'

4 stelle

Not my kind of short novel, I hated the pessimistic moral of the story, I hated the machismo and the useless Juana.
But there are a few scenes that are magic. In particular the first chapter and the two parts where Kino looks in the pearl and sees the future his family could have if he sold it. When his dreams dissolve, it broke my heart
