Painter to my list of go to authors who write in this genre, but was let down with the overall story-line and development of the characters in her book. I adore Alice Hoffman, Sarah Addison Allen, and was quite happy to discover author Menna van Praag as well. I love magical realism books and am always on the lookout for more authors that write in this genre. I think this is because I don't know what to say about a book that I consider in the end to be a serviceable book, but not very memorable. Painter to my list of go to authors who I have struggled with this review and have started and deleted it about a dozen times.
