Bynum's, Madeleine is Sleeping, reads like something out of Charles Dickens, though her style is more reminiscent of Gabriel Garcia Marquez' magic realism. Bynum uses Marquez lush and carnal style imagery to evoke the pastoral village, the orchard and the country road leading to the Dickensian insane asylum where the main characters are trapped for a time.
