Kate’s 2¢: “The water rituals” by Eva García Sáenz, translated by Nick Caistor

“The water rituals” by Eva García Sáenz, translated by Nick Caistor

Kate’s 2¢: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as,     describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read.  I’m just saying…

   I enjoy reading books from non-American writers. Their perspectives, morals, and styles are refreshing and interesting. The translator has an important role in making the foreign language come logically and comfortably into American/English for it all to make sense. Nick Caistor has done his homework and this story is a gem. Thank you.

   I’ve lived in Spain, so I also enjoyed getting re-acquainted with the pronunciation of streets, places, and names, as well as, remembering the various locations I knew.
