“The Gluttony sister” is a story set in Colonial Mexico, where deep-rooted beliefs about roles and the “proper way to be” were shaped by strong traditions. Its protagonist, Esperanza Irisarri, as the only daughter, dutifully embraced her self-sacrificing role, cultivating skills such as the culinary arts — virtues that, unbeknownst to her, would become both the gift and the sentence of her destiny.
