Beautiful book filled with artsy, graphic scenes in different media.. photos, stitching and sketches, but a sad story that focuses on the life of one of the many young women who were murdered in Ciudad Juarez. It reminded me greatly of book 4 in Bolano's 2666 about the murders of women in Santa Teresa, although this book focuses on one girl who worked in a factory just outside the U.S. border, and was horrendously murdered and no one can figure out why. The writer sheds light on her life and humanizes a situation that the police and others would consider just another death amongst many. A really creative and mindblowing (true) story.
Apparently its also one in 4 others... this one is the "I live here 3"
