![]() No aggravation whatsoever, just the joy of a good story told well. All that to say, this book is very good and handles the magical realism perfectly. ![]() Also, when combined with literary fiction, and/or when written by a man, I tend to get very, very aggravated by it. I don’t read a lot of magical realism as a genre (or fabulism) because a lot of people are not good at writing it but get published anyway. I’m really not going to talk much about the plot here because it’s way better to be surprised, but I will say that the book starts out with all of Orquídea Divina’s living descendants receiving an invitation to her death. (An old woman turns into a tree! Flowers grow out of people’s bodies!) And also the literal magic that is in the book. I just don’t want to try and put words to the subconscious magic this book can work upon a reader. ![]() ![]() I tell you what, I’ve really been putting off writing this review. ![]()
