Pat and I watched the Netflix series based on the book and we really enjoyed it. When I looked up the book I saw it was based on the daughter of the main character in the show and I ordered the book from the library.

It is true that the story is told from the point of view of Gabriela who is Luna’s daughter (Luna was the main character in the Netflix series). There was very little in the novel that wasn’t covered in the series. The narrative in the novel is about Gabriela learning the history of her family through many generations. It was interesting to see the changes that were made in the series that weren’t in the book.

This is a case where I think having seen the series made the book even more interesting.
