I took this book with me on a beach trip to Cancun, and so glad I did. Just a little background of Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia, tells the story of Mexican socialite Noemí Taboada. Noemí is sent to visit her cousin Catalina who has been sending frantic letters to Noemí’s father in Mexico City. Catalina lives in high place with her English husband and his family. The letters spoke of Catalina seeing ghosts on the walls of the house, which immediately made Noemí’s father worry and sent her on the first train to El Triunfo, which is where High place is located🖤
🐛Drea’s Take: i couldn’t put it down! Even at 2:00 AM, freaking out I had to keep reading! What I loved about this book was the references to 1950s Mexico, and it instantly takes you back to old movies with Pedro Infante (who is referenced in the book) The book is set in the Golden age of Mexican cinema, with ghosts? What else can a girl ask for! The author even made a Spotify playlist to go with the book! So, should you read it? Absolutely! Just be sure to leave a light on 😉
