This is the story of a family of curanderas in Colombia, told by the youngest person to inherit the unique abilities. The book balances on the edge of what we’re told is “real” in the western/white world, and I very much enjoyed the insight into a different understanding from what is most familiar to me.

There’s so much in this book that I want to quote. Maybe the reason is that I, too, am someone who thinks about the relationship between self and story. Maybe I’m looking for a new way to understand the world and the self and the boundary between them, or lack thereof. “Everything survives,” Rojas Contreras writes, and it’s both a comfort and a warning. I’m gonna be thinking about this one for a while.
