Book review

Buried Treasure is a magical realism novel set in the fictional town of Vivo, a town which I think could resemble any reader’s hometown (apart from the “magical” elements, I suppose. I’m not sure how you feel about your hometown).  Vivo is both very specific (it has quite a notorious phonebooth that is used for some very spicy activities, very strong coffee and a pigeon-messaging service) but also non-specific (dysfunctional municipality, anyone?). A sort of “everytown” which makes it an excellent setting for this unique story.
