Title: Not worth the time.
Review: This is the only selection of my book group I have not been able to force myself to finish. I am a lover of magical realism but I found this book to be annoyingly trite. I can't really complain about the author's writing style, but her story was so adolescent that by the time Raven appeared I thought: I know where this is going and I couldn't force myself to continue. Not in the same league with God of Small Things or Like Water for Chocolate.
