Reservoir Bitches is a debut linked-story collection from Mexico that stitches together the fierce voices of thirteen women as they navigate love, work, crime, and survival. Crafted in gritty, streetwise prose with wicked humor, these stories explore life on the margins and in the shadows of Mexican society. Perfect for adult readers who appreciate mature, noir-tinged social fiction, this collection invites those craving bold heroines, sharp wit, and daring storytelling.

Structured as interconnected stories, the book braids personal quests into a bigger portrait of a world where power, vulnerability, and resilience collide. You’ll meet a spectrum of protagonists—from the all-powerful daughter of a cartel boss to the victim of transfemicide; from a houseful of spinster seamstresses to a socialite who fakes Indigenous roots to support her husband’s career. The voices are unapologetic, funny, and fearless, and the pace, always brisk, keeps you turning pages as the threads pull tighter toward a shared, leaping conclusion. Whether you read for social critique or dark comedy, Reservoir Bitches delivers a singular, unforgettable reading experience.
