Magical Realism for Non-Believers: A Memoir of Finding Family by Anika Fajardo

4.0

3.5 stars - Full review will be posted on my blog on 2nd April but can be moved upon request.

Interesting read about a woman who meets her father 20 years after her mother moved them away from him. She explores what it was like to grow up in a single parent as half-Columbian and meeting her father and being introduced to Columbian culture and trying to improve her Spanish.

She discovers years later that she has a brother who was born just a couple of weeks before she was. They navigate their family as adults and she has to re-learn the behaviours she developed thinking that she was an only child.

Overall, an interesting read but it didn't stand out.
