The Feast Of The Goat: A Novel | Mario Vargas Llosa

A very powerful story

4 years ago

I have read a few of Mario Vargas Llosa's novels, but Feast of the Goat was my favourite. The story is gripping and very powerful - both from the memories of a daughter returned to DR after many years away and from the poltical events surrounding the period. It was one of those novels that stays on your mind for quite some time after finishing it. read review
