A debut collection of interconnected stories featuring gritty, streetwise, and darkly humorous fiction from Mexico.

Life is a challenge. That's why you must face it, even when it seems overwhelming.

In the interconnected stories of Reservoir Bitches, thirteen Mexican women highlight the challenges of life as they fight, sew, dodge, deceive, cry, and lie to navigate their tangled circumstances. From the powerful daughter of a drug lord to a victim of transfemicide, from a house full of single seamstresses to a society lady who supports her politician husband by pretending to have indigenous roots – these women defy their own limitations and invent new ways to survive while telling their stories in bold, unabashed voices. Reservoir Bitches is both a social critique and a dark comedy, and a turbulent debut from one of Mexico's most exciting new writers.
