Dont normally write much in my reviews. Feel I may have underrated this book. The writing is actually very good. Plot strand excellent. There is something in the execution that makes the narrative "jerky" like a hand held camera. Apart from this, the novel is a quirky tale of Henry who we learn very early, is dead. Novel uses flashbacks extensively accompanied by journal entries to fill gaps in Henry's life. Very poignant with traditional themes but innovatively explored such as mortality, life and death, the injustice of the death of youth vs the longetivity of parents, marital bliss, the inability or ability of animals to register familiarity with humans versus humans desire to feel an attachmen to animals. And I could go on. The High School English teacher part of me says to the librarian, buy this book but I feel not many will read it. Magic realism fans will get more out of this than lovers of other genres. Still nonplussed. Is it a great read or did the minor flaws in structure blur my view? I must admit that i read this in fits and starts due to work demands. Think I will revisit this book to test my judgement. To summarise, if you are a fan of magic realism, DEFINITELY read it... for others, only if you like quirky characters such as the dad who is totally immersed in his interest in jellyfish (?) or the one handed Benna and the list goes on.
