I have been a fan of Ann Patchett's writing, ever since I read Bel Canto in 2003. After that book, I decided to read her third novel, The Magician's Assistant. Now I've had a chance to reread it for book club tonight.
What I particularly like at Patchett's writing is her smooth prose which reads as though it took her no effort to write. I also enjoy her characters who are full of heart. This particular story takes place in Los Angeles and the small town of Alliance, Nebraska. As a transplant from the midwest to Southern California, and a two-time patron of the Magic Castle, I also enjoy Patchett's sense of place.
