I'm definitely intrigued by the plot. I love a little magical realism in almost any story. But I'm not sure I'll be able to connect to the main character. I love flawed characters, but I love it even more when they realize their flaws and take steps to change. Not sure if I'll get that in this book. But maybe even that is the author trying to say something .... you can never know with fiction.Jenniferhttp://www.justicejennifer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987167496142681464.post-74281730718402743942010-06-23T09:28:20.462+02:002010-06-23T09:28:20.462+02:00Yours is the second review of this that I see and ...Yours is the second review of this that I see and now I REALLY want to read this!
