The most popular magical realism books
Magical realism tells realistic stories in which the impossible simply happens. A ghost sits down to dinner, it rains flowers, a family curse runs for a hundred years, and nobody finds it strange. The magic is never explained. Expect rich, dreamlike novels rooted in real places, families and histories.
