All told this is an immersive, engaging story that spans generations of a family in a unique setting, with compelling narration. But parts of it give me the ick.

I really liked the little world Garcia Marquez creates and I felt swept along with it. It immediately reminded me of some of Salman Rushdie’s works, specifically Victory City.

Lives up to the hype? Read it if you’re up for an ever-unwinding family saga and some OG magical realism, don’t read it if you get frustrated keeping track of names or by problematic protagonists 😂 not for everyone
