really liked it

This book is so unlike anything I’ve ever read. I’m usually not one to pick up a Western cowboy book but the title and the promise of magical realism sucked me in.

The Bullet Swallower follows Antonio Sonoro in 1895 on his quest for revenge against the Texas Rangers that killed his brother. We also follow Jaime Sonoro, his grandson, in 1965 as he unravels his family history and the curse that’s folllwed them through centuries.

One thing about me is I love a good revenge story so I ate this book up. The way the two timelines were weaved together was magical. The writing was beautiful. I picked it up wanting something different from my usual reads and I definitely got that! 💛
