    Hi there I'm looking for books that have elements of magic realism, complicated family dynamics, real historical events that may be included or centered around the plot and rich culture. Books synonymous to Laura Esquivel's Like Water for Chocolate or Toni Morrison's Love.

    Or whatever your favorite fictional novel is 🙂

    1. Family Lore by Elizabeth Acevedo

      One Hundred Years of Solitude (if you haven’t already read it)

      For an interesting take on might be magic, might be a child’s imagination and a great story, my grandmother asked me to tell you she’s sorry by Backman.

      For complex gripping stories without magic, the hearts invisible Furies by John Boyne, the book Theif, the longings of women by Marge Piercy, Shogun by Clavell, King Rat, the physician by Noah Gordon
