Critics Review
Not a travelogue so much as a grave-a-logue, Somebody is Walking on Your Grave is an exuberant, witty wander among the dead. You could not have a better friend to take you by the hand and lead you for a long traipse among tilting tombstones, dank crypts, and chilling history – Joe HillEnríquez, when she does just enough, is pretty much unbeatable – A.K. BlakemoreEnriquez’s talent and fearlessness is something to behold * Financial Times *Enriquez’s great gift that she can make stories with ugly subject matter so addictive and full of life * Observer *One of Latin America’s brightest stars * Telegraph *
