In the award-winning novel Hurricane Season, Fernanda Melchor presents a tale of savagery, betrayal, and addiction, but also of compassion and the capacity for hope. The small Mexican town of La Matosa is the setting for a murder mystery that unfolds after the town outcast, the Witch, is found in the canal with her throat severed from ear to ear. Over the course of the novel, Melchor infuses the narrative with themes such as persecution, fear, betrayal, and the nature of evil.
