Magical realism isn't a common genre taken on by New Zealand writers, but it's a natural fit for Belinda Aycrigg who's just published her first novel Ocean of Milk. In the book the Auckland writer has mother of two Amalia wake up in hospital after a motor accident, her memory erased. Not only is she bewildered but so are her family when Amalia acts very differently and even takes a new name. Cynthia Morahan reads for us from Ocean of Milk.
