I have been waiting for this author to bring another story to my life! I absolutely loved Saint X and really enjoy this author's writing style! Elsewhere is described as a mix of Shirley Jackson's The Lottery and Margaret Atwood and those are two of my favorites. The main protagonist, Vera, sounds like my favorite type of MC--a strong, independent female that wants something different than the norm around her. This sounds like it will be a great mix of magical realism and a great coming of age story and I can't wait to read this author again!
