Hmm. Not one of his best novels, but I did love the character of Lupe! There were some strange repetitions throughout the book where I had to stop and think, didn't I just read this? The whole section in the Philippines could have been left out - the characters introduced there were odd. I think Irving tried for some magical realism but fell flat.
