Enrigue imagines Cortés and his entourage welcomed (?) by Montezuma into his kingdom with hysterical escapades as a result. This is historical fiction at another level. Álvaro Enrigue is a genius.
Adina is just a regular girl living in South Philly with her single mom, except Adina is an alien and communicates with her home planet via an old fax machine. Quirky and funny and relatable to anyone who has felt a little different. Beautyland by Marie-Helene Bertino is one of my favorite books of 2024!
