I'm much more into ‘depressing reality' than ‘magical realism'. This book entwined the two and I'm not sure how to feel about it. I wouldn't insist anyone has to read it. But there were very enjoyable moments in here. Oh, and I guess it helps if you have a general understanding of the Finn. Which is a phenomenon hard to describe.
“When she'd returned to Rabbit Back, Ella had consisted of lovely curving lips, faulty ovaries, and a future as a language and literature teacher.”
“Falling in love with a person's momentary being was as irrational as falling in love with the left side of his face, or the back of his head, or some other individual part of him.”
“She had ridden her bike to the school one Monday morning and before she knew it the breeze had wiped away thirteen years of her life.”
This is a strange tale of a literature society. I was fascinated and at times disgusted but it kept me reading until the very last little twist. Children see the world so much different than adults.
