hollyempey 's review for:
Bone Gap
by Laura Ruby
Adore! Magic realism, interesting perspectives, and corn fields FINALLY used as something positive instead of the scenes of horror movies. Characters rendered intriguing by unorthodox characteristics: Polish, disability in recognizing faces, etc. A mild comparison to a well known myth emerges late in the game, wasn't overwhelmingly trying to stay true the specifics, but subtly referenced them instead. (I saw you, pomegranate filling in Polish cookies).
Only reason it wasn't five stars: it was a little slow in the beginning. It was interesting, but it wasn't until maybe half of the way through that I found myself unable to put the book down (hence writing this in the wee hours of the morning-- I stayed up all night to finish it because I HAD to know what was coming next).
Verdict: Yes. Very yes. Different, page turning deliciousness.
