This is for the seller. The book that came was large print. I did not see this on the description. I'm donating it and ordering elsewhere.
Blurb on back not consistent with actual plot.

I like magical realism, so I was intrigued by the description of the book. I really enjoyed Karen Russell’s writing style and her descriptions of Swamplandia and the characters who inhabit it. However, the plot was strange and a bit disturbing by the end, with an unsatisfying resolution. If you are looking for a book about truly magical swamps or a lighthearted read, move on. If you want a read about grief or are looking for something unusual, you might enjoy this.
