I loved Silvia Moreno-Garcia's style, voice, and descriptions of 1950s Mexico in her gothic horror novel, Mexican Gothic. I quickly fell in love with NoemÃ, the main character. She is an intelligent, independent socialite who heads to a remote mountain town to rescue her cousin from a mysterious ailment. Her ailment stems from Catalina's husband's English family, who take eugenics to another level. I loved the book up until the climax. At that point, it becomes too sci-fi for my personal taste. However, if you love a book with a strong female character and like Gothic Horror, then I definitely recommend this book.
