Reservoir Bitches

A powerful and wickedly funny debut collection of linked short stories from Mexico. The narrative follows thirteen Mexican women, who are forced to navigate brutal and complex circumstances, fighting, lying, and hustling their way through life in defiance of their societal reduction.

Characters include a politician's socialite wife who fakes Indigenous roots, a houseful of seamstresses, and the ruthless daughter of a cartel boss. Through a series of bold and unapologetic tales, these women invent new ways to survive in a challenging, often violent world.

The book functions as a raucous social critique and a dark comedy, providing a raw and unflinching look at the highly complex reality of young women in modern Mexico. (123 words)
