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

3.0

Anika really helped me delve into other cultures through this memoir. While I found that it jumped around a lot and it was hard to follow at some points, I really enjoyed reading about her life, her quest to find out more about her father, and her background and heritage. Her imagining scenarios and creating made up thoughts for others was a little off-putting as well. I liked her writing style though for the most part...and what person hasn't thought "What If?" at some point in their life?

Thank you Netgalley and University of Minnesota Press for the advance copy, which was provided in exchange for an honest review
