A very unusual story, very erotic, exposing relation/issue between innocence and guilt, and when innocence/sexual impulses becomes funding for reach the goal. Characterization is good, diverse structure makes you into thinking, provocative and repulsive story, written in a rich, fluid prose ... and with one of the creepiest ends I've read so far. Polarizing, but I like it and I think that it‘s a very good story. #readaroundtheworld #Peru Recipe 👇

A wonderful interpretation of a quite horrible picture.
