    “By Inès Cagnati, translated into English by Liesl Schillinger. This book is an incantation. It enchanted me with its rich detail and simple, poetic observations. It’s a haunting tale of rural poverty, female suffering, familial trauma, and a young girl’s devastating devotion to her outcast mother, whom the villagers call “Crazy Genie.””
