this was such an intricately layered, cinematic masterpiece of a story! i’ve been grotesquely fascinated by the story of salome ever since my music history professor in college made our class watch the infamous final scene in strauss’s opera of the same name, and i loved reading what silvia moreno garcia brought to this biblical story.

i highly recommend the audiobook for this one� it has a full cast of narrators and it made the story feel even more like a movie. i thought the depiction of old hollywood was fascinating, and i especially loved how the lives of the actors began to mirror the story of salome and everything became intertwined.

so good!
