The Witch is dead. After a group of children playing near the
irrigation canals discover her decomposing corpse, the village of
La Matosa is rife with rumours about how and why this murder
occurred. As the novel unfolds in a dazzling linguistic torrent,
Fernanda Melchor paints a moving portrait of lives governed by
poverty and violence, machismo and misogyny, superstition and
prejudice. Written with an infernal lyricism that is as affecting
as it is enthralling, Hurricane Season, Melchor's first novel to
appear in English, is a formidable portrait of Mexico and its
demons, brilliantly translated by Sophie Hughes.
