Usually I have some problems with magical realism, mainly I would say, because it is not part of my cultural background, so I am feeling unfortunately distant to it. 
This story got me, maybe because I am interested as much in burial rites in other countries as I am in cemeteries and because I like ghost stories.
I wasn't that much interested in the love story, but into each of the main characters life story.
