“The problems inside the pot are known only by the spoon who stirs it. In other words, only a family can know all its own secrets.”
Stella Fortuna has cheated death seven (or eight) times. With a name that means “lucky star” that must mean she has good luck, right?
Unfortunately, it’s the life that happens between each death that makes Stella’s story so sad.
Mostly family drama with a little bit of historical fiction sprinkled in, The Seven or Eight Deaths of Stella Fortuna is bleak, gritty, raw and disturbing.
This book is beautifully written but the subject matter is tough and it’s not for the faint of heart. It’s incredibly depressing without a single joyful story or event.
