End of chapter four! I have now ordered this book to have my own copy, since there's no way in hell I'm going to be finishing it before it's due back at the library, and I'd like to be able to underline words and make notes in the margins for convenience.

Fun vocab:

llanto: crying
descalza: barefoot
escasa: scarce
hueso: bone
moler: crush
añicos: smithereens
aniquilar: to overwhelm
desangrarse: to bleed to death
puñetazo: a punch
farfullar: to jabber
mascullar: to mutter

Words my dictionary didn't have:

ablanzó (a verb, and an action one, but the nearest I can find is "ablandar" which makes no sense in context: pushed? charged?)
destripó (another action verb: shredded? tore?)
solía (seems to mean 'alone' or 'only' in context)

Chapter one finished!
