Showing results for "Marilyn" in Magical Realism

In the mountainous town of Gethsemane, 17th-century Cape Verde, a mysterious woman's arrival sparks a series of strange events that will leave the town's inhabitants changed: men sporadically blind in the afternoons, children disappearing and reappearing without warning and infertile women pregnant with the memories of past births. In present-day London, a quartet are brought together by their fascination with ritual, miracles and a life beyond the mundane.

It all started in the hot summer of 1960, when Marilyn Monroe walked off the set of "The Misfits" and began to hear a haunting song in her head, "Goodbye Norma Jean"…

Navigating the intricacies of life and self-identity is an eternal quest that literature often delves into, but rarely do we come across a book that so profoundly captures this voyage with such ethereal elegance as Maya Realm's "Roam Within: Macallah and the White World of Light." From the outset, Realm pulls us into Macallah's enigmatic world—a blend of the familiar and the fantastical, wrapped in luminous prose and intricate narrative layers.
