Review of The Holy Girl (2004) by Michael S — 14 Oct 2007
Sex and religion, the great twin themes of so much Latin American fiction, get a wholly original workout in this chillingly incisive account of a handsome doctor who sews lust in the hearts of a beautiful middle-aged hotel owner and her teenage daughter.
A slow burner that ends on a note of quiet devastation, this is written and acted to perfection.
