I read this book when it was first published in 85. I went and heard her speak. As a compulsive overeater it all still rings so true today. Even when you loose the weight the compulsion is never 100% gone.

Bookclub selection. I started it once before but left it unfinished. This time I will finish it. I find it helps to read it slowly as that is how the characters live.

Magical Realism. I liked this book a lot. Her wiriting style is wonderful you become part of the story. I knew and felt for all her characters which is a remarkable acheivement.
