What is the author's style in So Far from God by Ana Castillo?

So Far From God is written as a kind of satirical prose epic in the tradition of Cervantes's Don Quixote. Castillo's use of the supernatural, high language, episodic structure, and the witty narrator all contribute to this form. Sofi's tragedies and triumphs are described in epic terms and the story of a no-name woman in the middle of a tiny Hispanic New Mexico town takes on great themes and ideas
