This was such a fantastic and unusual read. Ansbro is an amazing wordsmith and his world-building fascinated me. I am not a big fan of science fiction but I do love a good time travel story and magical realism.
I really loved the main characters in this book, they were so likable and realistic in their moods. thoughts, and behaviour. I liked the many timelines in the book, we have people from 1970, 1986, and 2020. The mention of the historical moments and the (awful) fashion were a fun reminder of what used to be. It was pretty funny seeing people from 2020 try to navigate a time before cell phones and the internet. Ansbro had me feeling like I was transported to Mexico (a place I have never been) with his descriptions of the weather, the people, his use of language, and the food.
The book can fall into multiple genres, mystery, fantasy, historical fiction, and of course science fiction but simply put this was a beautifully written book that I really enjoyed and ticked all the boxes for me, the book, in a nutshell, it is simply great storytelling.
A little tidbit: I found out that the author himself painted the cover photo and it is fantastic!
