Query: The Horse Whisperer

This book seems to be another stab at writing in the magical realism genre, and it also reminds me of the "Bridges of Madison County" in that it features a mystical man who meets a woman who is in a predictible, even boring marriage. They have a brief affair, he disappears and she is left with her memories (in this book's case, she was silly enough to have his child). I felt the book's opening scene was good,but it went downhill from there; the characters felt cardboardy and even a bit too unreal.If you like magical realism, I would recommend Gabriel Garcia Marquez. He is a master at it, and the love scenes are beautifully written without a jarring resort to explicitness.
