Book Review of The Queen of the South

The Queen of the South


This was not a topic or subject matter I would normally read about, in fact I avoided the book for quite a while and let it sit on the shelf. Having said that, I did read it, stuck with it, wondered how it would end, stayed with the story. It was well written in the sense that it held together, progressed evenly, was understandable, all of that. I found a quote from the book itself that summed it up for me: "Maybe old age when it comes, is about looking back and seeing the many strangers that you have been, and in whom you can't quite recognize yourself."
