Query: Haunting Magical Realism

A story told in the writing style of magical realism about love lost and love found. Highly imaginative and unusual. It is those qualities of the novel that kept me reading. Hoffman relies heavily on allusions to nature, weaving a web of mystery and suspense where every truth lies below a shimmering surface. Set in a riverside college town, the residents and students can't seem to come to grips with each other until a drowned boy makes them confront the truth behind each of their lives.If you enjoyed Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude, you will likely enjoy this book too.
