Title: Janet Fitch "Make(s) Magic"
Review: This is not an uplifting novel, but it is a beautiful one; America's first compelling tragedy of the Digital Age, it is the antithesis of L.M. Montgomery. Astrid Magnussen is the most convincing anti-hero of literature since Nabokov's Humbert Humbert, and Fitch's critical stance toward contemporary American life is as timely and valid. "White Oleander" is American myth, flipped; justice, beauty, perserverance, success, triumph, even survival are shown to be dreams of the entitled classes. As poetic and murderous as the ancient Norse Valkyries. Don't pass this up.
