"The pieces in Margarita Saona's The Ghost of You resist classification--hovering between fables, tales, thoughts, and dreams spun with images that enchant and disenchant. Saona's collection creates a most brilliant uncertainty because the reader never knows when, "It is, and it isn't a game." Birds fall from the sky, mosquitoes, frogs, and crocodiles populate what seems to be everyday life. Immerse yourself in The Ghost of You because "The story is there, ready and waiting."" Wendy McGrath, author of The Santa Rosa Trilogy
