Jan said:
"What I liked so much about this book, beyond the actual writing, which was lovely, was the reinterpretation of the story. She really created a reason for Zorro, she embodied the hero with a history and a soul.

Jan said:
"I connected better with this book than with the Stranger, and both were required reading... I felt that the exile created by the sickness was quickly seen to be affecting the characters of the story and tied his purpose to his prose very well.
