Niffenegger’s second novel is a semi-ghost story, which confirms her ability to make magical realism feel practically natural and believable. You can read my revised review here https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2015/04/23/twins-and-ghosts/

Dominique Marie (7 KP) rated Like Water for Chocolate (Como agua para chocolate) in Books

I found this story to be really cute. There is just this innocent feel to it that I really loved about it. I also enjoyed Magical Realism elements very much. My one complaint is that I would have preferred it if she had ended up the man that she didn't end up with in the end.

They have been calling this "Water for Elephants meets The Night Circus." Since I've never read either of those books, I could enjoy it for what it is - historical fiction, woman's murder mystery with a touch of magical realism. You can read my review of this novel here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2015/03/10/illusions-and-elusions/
