Helpful Score: 3

This gorgeous novel is well-known in the Spanish-speaking world, but most American readers happen across it by accident and read it with a sense of growing astonishment. I know that was my first reaction - just a sense of awe at the power of the narrative (particularly its ability to draw you into the story despite the multitude of stories, myths, and characters that could be overwhelmingly confusing). I have reread this novel several times and it just keeps getting better.
