We discuss A Little Luck by Claudio Piñero
In this episode, we discuss A Little Luck by Claudia Piñero, translated from the Spanish by Francis Riddle. We are big fans of Piñero and truly enjoy reading her work. In 2022, we chose her book Elena Knows as our August book club pick and we had a great discussion on that book (episode 55).
Highlights:
🎙 Piñero knows how to write suspense.🎙There was one character that wasn’t mentioned much, but still held so much space in the story.🎙 It’s a rather short book, but the story feels so big and it stays with you in so many ways.
