    <about><![CDATA[I try to only review books that I feel are well-written and entertaining. I can't bring myself to write something bad about a fellow author. I just wish I had more time to read for pleasure. I met a wonderful group of women who read my first novel in their book club and invited me to join. Although I don't always apprecaite (or even read) our selections, I do enjoy the company and the wine. ]]></about>

          <body><![CDATA[Wonderful family saga. Typical of the magical realism that runs through much South American literature. Let's have green hair, ghosts walking the halls, premonitions that come to pass and furniture that moves around the room. Oh, and lots of love and sex.]]></body>

It explains a lot of things that confused me about US/Arab relations. This book is not for entertainment, but it kept me engrossed.]]></body>
