I don’t know much about magical realism, but my belief is that when it’s good, you don’t even want an explanation for the magic, and when it’s bad, all you can think about is “what’s the explanation?” Well, this book was 10 hours of the latter, and, spoiler alert, you never end up finding out any kind of explanation. And for that reason, I’m glad I listened at 2x. Would not recommend.
