    Magical realism is the feeling of almost "impossibility" in your daily life. Magical realism is not necessarily supernatural activities, because that would not be realism, but a sense of your life having more than what meets the eye. Maybe? This is a hunch, mind you..

    I honestly haven't noticed much about the book so far, other than perhaps that it's written quite well. It reads, to me, almost like a diary. How it goes through the seasons, (also reminds me of my poetry cycle!).
    So, I'll get a deeper answer when I get deeper into the book I suppose.
