The article mentioned how the author was a victim of cancer culture soon after this much heralded book was released because a Mexican journalist believed the author had no business writing the book because she\u2019s not Mexican. This infuriated me. A novelist can write any damn book they want. It\u2019s fiction. I decided to read the book that caused so much fuss. I know of the cartels in Mexico and have never read a book featuring them. I thought this was a terrific read, well-written and engrossing. It really tugged at my heart strings.
