What Members Thought
Should have been titled Sex in the Time of Cholera.
The writing style was attractive... it was just used for a story which sounds better on the description on the back of the book than in between the covers. The author examines love in all its forms... including some rather distasteful ones. This is not your typical romance as there is no idealisation of characters or even the emotion at all.
There is a great sense of place and I am hoping I will enjoy other books by the author more than this one ...more
