Aura

This book Aura was just super interesting! It was just… in a way… mind-blowing how the young suddenly become the old. Felipe could have gone on with his life ignoring that article, but something just drew it back to it. With the job not taken, was it always just meant for him, like were others unwelcomed to the house until the right one was found? The door was practically welcoming him in when he first got there.  I’m not exactly sure if the street mixed with old and new houses have any significance, but I can’t help but relate it to what was to happen later on.

Magical realism did confuse me a bit, but I now find it very fascinating! Felipe became General Llorante while Aura became Consuelo. Was it that their old love was so strong that it dragged the two young ones into their lives or something else? Aura practically mimicked Consuelo in many was, from movements to speech. I am not really sure about General Llorante and Felipe, but I am very curious of what would happen next. Was everything just a projection of General Llorante and Consuelo or was the love and youthfulness of Felipe and Aura’s love mirroring it? I just have a whack my brain for an answer, but nothing’s really occurring to me as of now.
