This was a very strange book. it's about a man who meets his dead father's mistress and gets involved with her, and she tells him stories from her life, but most of them seem to be made up. It kept me turning the pages to find out what was going to happen, and the purpose of the stories, but in that, I was disappointed and I hated the ending.

I was privileged to know this author. I’m ashamed it took me almost 20 years to read this, but I certainly enjoyed it better than I thought I would. It has tastes of many genres and feels very real to me. I also like that it’s written primarily in the present tense.
