Summary: Interesting??!!
Review: The book is a little confusing since you don't know who is narrating. It was a little bit all over the place in regards to the characters. But once you get the hang of who is narrating, the book gets a little interesting. The ending of the book is were the book gets very interesting, other than that the book is a little slow to unfold.

Summary: Interesting but disorganized plot
Review: The context of this novel seemed interesting at first. Angie Cruz does magical realism rather well, but the story of a young Dominican artist and the unraveling of her eccentric family is confusing, underdeveloped and disorganized. I had a difficult time remembering who was whom and most of the subplots -- witchcraft, sibling rivalry, mental disorders, etc. -- are irrelevant to the overall story. I wanted to like this novel -- after all, the synopsis promised a dark tale with a dose of magic realism -- but as I read the chapters I couldn't help but realize that Angie Cruz is no Gabriel Garcia Marquez. A true disappointment...
