Aghhhh I wanted to love this more than I did — the first half was excellent but the last half was messy, things felt unresolved and the plot jumped structure and timeline in a way that got confusing — and I say this as a big fan of intergenerational time jump/perspective jump literary fiction 

But some gorgeously beautiful stuff in the first half and this book definitely makes me want to read more magical realism :-)
