I was attracted by the title of this book and looked up the reviews before buying it - they all raved like mad. I have now read it a second time just to confirm my first impressions: though I like the idea of weaving a plot around traditional recipes, I hated the stiff and stilted writing style (maybe it lost a lot in translation) and found it difficult to plot through right to the end. If you want magic realism, go to Garcia Marqués or Isabel Allende who do it a whole lot better.
Release planned for Tuesday, September 09, 2003 at train régional entre Lausanne et Yverdon in Lausanne, On a train Switzerland.
