Did you know there's also a movie? As I recall it was very well done. I bet you can still get it on Netflix. I wouldn't mind seeing it again and might just have to add it to my queue.<BR/><BR/>I'm a magical realism fan as well. Have you read Garden Spells or The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen?LisaMMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10530087423961700607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4195556660351263001.post-8292439200949253472008-11-16T16:37:00.000-08:002008-11-16T16:37:00.000-08:00It's been a while since I've read this, but I don'...It's been a while since I've read this, but I don't remember rooting for her and Dr. Brown... mainly since I thought it would have been horribly uneven and unfair to him - and that's not exactly a recipe for long-lasting happy relationships either.Fyreflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10267651786697866292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4195556660351263001.post-432705650286708012008-11-16T01:49:00.000-08:002008-11-16T01:49:00.000-08:00Wow, you are already done with the book.

Hopefully I will like it. I am not too fond of intense sex scenes and so I'll at least be prepared for that, having read your review.

I do remember liking the magical realism...a literary device that I love (especially in Rushdie's Midnight's Children).Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4195556660351263001.post-82820448511520243622008-11-14T12:07:00.000-08:002008-11-14T12:07:00.000-08:00I wanted her to make a different choice as well. ...I wanted her to make a different choice as well.
