Above the Salt

"Above the Salt" by Katherine Vaz is a masterpiece! I understand the novel took its author 18 years to complete --and it shows. The language is gorgeous in this love story of escape from religious persecution in 19th century Portugal.
The story is told to us as if from a higher realm of poetic beauty. In Vaz' world, things morph into other things, creating a kind of synesthetic sense of beauty and unity. It makes us see, as the author herself once said, that "magic realism is real."
