This was a bit of a miss for me. I could not help comparing it to 'The Science of Breakable Things' and feeling it came up short. The magical realism was difficult for my linear mind to connect with for some reason. I know I am not the target audience, but this seemed to me to be like that batch of rice cakes that tried to make for the tiger. The grape jelly just was not the right filling. There are some emotional moments in this book that are handled quite deftly, but then there are other ingredients that just don't add to the whole. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
