A wonderful novel in the South American, magical realism style. I have been wanting to read this book since it was recommended to me by a friend over 25 years ago so when I saw a copy in the marvellous Barter's Books shop, I couldn't resist. So glad I finally got round to it.

Given to me today by my friend Snoopy56. Good to see you today.

I read a few chapters of this book before realising it wasn't for me. Sorry Snoopy56! Will release soon and hope the finder enjoys it.
Update-Snoopy 56 has asked me to return this book to her so she can lend to a friend so I am reserving it for her.

This book was given back to my friend Snoopy56, at her request, when we met for lunch today.
