Night at the Fiestas

We listened to the audiobook of Kirstin Valdez Quade’s story collection on a drive to California and back. Each story captures something of the experience of being Catholic in New Mexico and having life not completely go according to plan. So far so good. Each story also includes a mention or two of body parts or bodily fluids that are perhaps a bit too vivid in their descriptions. Wanted to love this collection, but couldn’t quite get there.
