This book was very well written and managed to evoke feelings of nostalgia and feel almost historical as you continued reading. It was almost like it became the story of the house and it made me feel things. HOWEVER, the content was difficult. There was so much incest and paedophilia, which just happened constantly and was completely unnecessary but also was not particularly condemned or seen as problematic. There were also points where it just became quite boring. It seems the type of book to study in a lit class but not a particularly enjoyable book outside of that context.

coconutsharks87's review against another edition

I loved the magical realism aspects and portions of it were beautiful, but I couldn’t get past the continued mentions of incest, rape, grooming, pedophilia, etc. Every time I would find myself enjoying the read, something disturbing would come up to throw me off.

joelafond's review against another edition

I had to read this book in high school English class and was not a fan. I figured at that age. Perhaps it just was over my head so I decided to give it another try as an adult. Only a slight improvement reading as an adult. Impressive writing, sure, but still just as rambling and aimless as I remember.

whales9001's review against another edition

Started reading because I have heard great things about it. The first hundred pages are riddled with incest and pedophilia and every time I though it may be over it just kept going. I then realized that life is short and I don't have to continue reading books I just frankly am not enjoying.

That being said the magical realism I did encounter was very well written. Who knows maybe I'll come back some day in the future but I kind of doubt it.
