This is where you can link reviews of novels from South America (remember, it is up to you if you want to include Central America here or in North America).
Oops, sorry. Can you please delete the #3. I was intending on signing up for the challenge, not posting here. :::is embarrassed::: I hit "enter" and instead of submitting it bumped me down to the next entry, but I didn't realized it happened til I re-entered. Sorry!
Help, Dorte! I want to change the posted URL #81, natasha to the "natalie" one. Natasha, using Hobbes the lion is not appropriate for the Reading Challenge. I created a new one using another URL and that is the one I would like to use. Can you delete "81"? My new one is http://castlepinesnorth.com Thank you.
'One Hundred Years of Solitiude' By:Gabriel Garcia Marquez
“Allow yourself to be immersed into a timeless and seemless story of magical realism. At first when reading this story (within the first 50 pages), I was disappointed because I was reading it in the literal sense. Then I started to read this book as if I was reading a Tim Burton film (i.e. Big Fish) and a whole literary experience was opened.
It's not a complete story in fantasy, but there are superstitions that are linked to the family that appear magical of which I found relevant to move the story.
The Silence of the Rain by Luiz Garcia-Roza. A very evocative first novel set in Rio. A mystery with a surprise ending, however, the reader knows what actually happens in the first chapter.
