This is a great novel! It's a complex story that has themes in equal weighting between a love story, supernatural happenings, generational conflicts, and the dynamic definition of the word "family". The author has a wonderful writing style that paints a very detailed picture of the surroundings and situations without being too wordy. That's probably why the story can be so complex without being overwhelming. There is so much covered in this book, that I'd recommend it to anyone.
I really liked how the story was told in first person by a couple of different characters, so you'd see the same situation from different points of view.
On a more personal note, the book left me asking, "Are women really as irrational and cryptic in romantic relationship as Cocoa (a main character) was?" If so, then every guy I've ever dated is extremely fortunate to have stumbled upon me, and my husband is the luckiest man in the world. I hope that the author used the rationality of her husband George to her crazy antics as some literary device, and it's not how women really are in romantic relationships.
