Reviews of Malas
Kirkus Review (starred): “A vibrant portrait of two strong women and their mixed feelings about home.”
Publisher’s Weekly (starred): “Fuentes is a seamless storyteller: the narrative is rich in Mexican culture and fully realized characterizations.”
Booklist (starred): “[S]trong women prevail through the power of comadrazgo (sisterhood) in this triumphant novel.”
BookPage (starred): “[A] fiery family epic teeming with rage and revenge... [this] defiant debut breathes new life into classic lore and heralds the arrival of a bold new literary powerhouse.”
The New York Times Book Review: “Fuentes humanizes seemingly insoluble conflicts, both generational and cultural, with imperfect characters who are just doing their best, even when they know they are screwing up.”
