Of Love and Other Demons

This book was a little difficult to read because of how much Sierva was suffering. She is just a young girl who grew up with the slaves her parents owned. Sierva's mother admitted to being frightened by the child, leading to hatred, while her father was indifferent towards her until she got bit by the rabid dog. He immediately gets his act together and becomes more of a father to Sierva, but her mom still doesn't care about her. This was saddening because of the childhood Sierva had, ultimately leading to her death alone.
