You will notice in some other reviews that the magical realism was just too UNrealistic. That emotions could burn a stool you are sitting on, or a persons words could cut you and cause you to bleed, that statues could fly away and leave behind feathers. It was way too much magic and not enough realism.
I love the genre Magical Realism, this was just not the same.

On a good note, the sense of community, and the beauty of the food recipes were very appealing. I wanted to cook some of that food.

The love at first sight was a tiny bit over the top to me too.

You know there was so much over the top. I plugged along and I was glad when it was over.
