The Hacienda Book Review

Today we discuss Isabel Cañas's debut novel The Hacienda, a Gothic horror/historic fiction set in the aftermath of the Mexican Revolution.
For Beatriz, marrying a wealthy hacendado brings stability and security. But why won't her sister-in-law enter the family home? Why do the servants seem so afraid? And what really happened to her husband's first wife?
More importantly, does this book live up to the Mexican Gothic comparisons?

Really appreciate your review! I liked the convos re:colonialism in the book and the pace/ending of the horror aspect. I also loved the romance! I was very sad about the ending but also felt it was the right one.
