Book Reviews of Aura
Book Review: Weird
Summary: 4 Stars
Aura is a strange work by Carlos Fuentes that incorporates realism and magic, brujeria (witchcraft) and religion, and linear and cyclical time. Good book to read if you know a fair amount of Spanish.
The descriptive setting cannot get much better; Fuentes keeps the reader guessing from chapter to chapter. Although it was written by a Mexican author, this novella can be appreciated and understood by a global audience.
