Popisho book review6/1/2023 Tears mix with laughter as we learn about death, infidelity, corruption, truth, desire, and love. Sonteine Intiasar’s wedding day and Xavier’s conscription by the governor to provide a wedding feast set the plot into motion and it quickly expands to embrace many stories. Emulating the best practitioners of magical realism, Ross takes us beyond normal experience and convinces us of the otherworldly cooking powers of Xavier, the healing energy of Anise, and the lie-detecting abilities of Zaza. The wondrous archipelago of Popisho is a place of magic, from the extraordinary powers of its denizens to the rich tapestry woven from its vividly imagined landscape, traditions, and culture.
