writerrhiannon 's review for:

The Silence of Bonaventure Arrow by Rita Leganski

5.0

---

Rita Leganski's prose cast a spell and hypnotized me for 374 pages. In an epic story spanning three generations, multiple character threads are woven together to produce the most perfect magical realist novel I have ever read. With a cast of characters showing that every action has its consequences both near and far reaching, Leganski provides everything a story with true love, questioning of social relationships, and wonderfully unconventional villains. The Louisiana setting saturates the story to the point of becoming a character itself with its hoodoo, voodoo and class divisions.
