Weep, Woman, Weep: A Gothic Fairytale about Ancestral Hauntings by Maria DeBlassie – Review by Shelly Kittell
Weep, Woman, Weep by Maria DeBlassie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was an amazingly original book. Mercy tells the story of her encounter with La Llorana, the River Witch. She shares her encounter and how it changed her life. Mercy is a very strong young woman. Granted, she shouldn’t have been out walking by the ditch/river that late but still, she is a survivor. There are tough topics such as domestic violence, abuse and possibly suicide touched on. They are covered in a serious and respectful way. Mercy is so strong and well-written that you root her on as she battles the River Witch. An incredible book that you just can’t miss!! I highly recommend.
