This was a rereading. Still digesting the themes of internal colonization, intra-racial discrimination, and classism.

Did-not-finish..more like an apologetic could-not-finish?
I really wanted to get it; but I found this story impenetrable. The atmosphere is heavy and laden with dread and sadness.
Originally I'd decided I would come back to this book when I feel more ready to tackle it, but more than a year has passed and it is time to admit defeat. I just don't do very well with magical realism.
