A debut linked story collection of gritty, streetwise, and wickedly funny fiction from Mexico.

Life's a bitch. That's why you gotta rattle her cage, even if she's foaming at the mouth.

In the linked stories of Reservoir Bitches, thirteen Mexican women prod the bitch that is Life as they fight, sew, skirt, cheat, cry, and lie their way through their tangled circumstances. From the all-powerful daughter of a cartel boss to the victim of transfemicide, from a houseful of spinster seamstresses to a socialite who supports her politician husband by faking Indigenous roots, these women spit on their own reduction and invent new ways to survive, telling their stories in bold, unapologetic voices. At once social critique and black comedy, Reservoir Bitches is a raucous debut from one of Mexico's most thrilling new writers.

'This book has the force of an ocean gully- it sucks you in, it drags you through the mud, and it cleans you in equal measure.'
-Andrea Abreu, author of Dogs Of Summer

'The brutal, fascinating, and truthful stories in Reservoir Bitches describe, without self-indulgence, the highly complex reality of young women in Mexico.'
-Berna Gonzalez Harbour, El Pais

'It's been a long time since I've read a book like this- the kind that makes you feel like your chest is going to explode.'
-Maria Teresa Priego-Broca, La Silla Rota
