The story itself is understated. Makina's trip across the border has a surreal quality to it. On the other hand, Herrera jumps from theme to theme at a breakneck pace. It's a wonderful contradiction that makes this book stand out. I loved the character of Makina; part of me wishes I could spend more time with her. At a brisk 107 pages, I was certainly left wanting more, but maybe the brevity adds to the book's qualities. Excellent and well deserving of the BTBA.
