I've had trouble finding Latin American Lit that I actually like. Garcia Marquez and I didn't click. His magical realism reminded me more of Salvador Dali's surrealism. Allende's House of the Spirits was too creepy. I loved like water for chocolate, and was looking for a non-creepy, magical but real, delightful read en espanol.
Enter Portrait in Sepia (follow up to Daughter of Fortune). Fantastic and quirky characters, captivating love stories, but grounded enough to keep me reading.
I'll be noshing on this one for awhile. yum.
