While I did adore the magical realism of this book and will continue to read Linden's books due to this. I loved both settings and the descriptions of food. Georgia trying to find herself and her fire and creativity I hope I can find that for myself again. Now the problematic areas were the fact that an old addict may still be using pot (although never clarified) as a child who grew up with a step parent with addiction, being sober means no substances. There were also parts that felt way too preachy.
