Magic for Beginners by Kelly Link
4.0

I loved a few of the stories. Five stars to "The Great Divorce" and "The Faery Handbag." I kept trying others and couldn't stick with them. I do admire Link's ability to defy genre, bringing a literary presentation to the surreal, the ghostly. The dreamy feel of this book could easily dilute the story, but Link doesn't let that happen. Brava! An interesting book.
