A man enduring a long recovery from horrific burns. A woman, possibly suffering from mental illness, who takes on his care. A figurative and literal journey to Dante's Inferno and back. And a love between two people that has outlasted centuries and even death. These elements combine to create one of the most enjoyable flights of fancy published this year - for open-minded readers who want a dash of magical realism to spice up their summer reading.Elly J.
