Title: The Horse Whisperer
Product review: This book seems to be another stab at writing in the magical realism genre, and it also reminds me of the "Bridges of Madison County" in that it features a mystical man who meets a woman who is in a predictible, even boring marriage. They have a brief affair, he disappears and she is left with her memories (in this book's case, she was silly enough to have his child). I felt the book's opening scene was good,but it went downhill from there; the characters felt cardboardy and even a bit too unreal.If you like magical realism, I would recommend Gabriel Garcia Marquez. He is a master at it, and the love scenes are beautifully written without a jarring resort to explicitness.
