What I really enjoyed about this book is the way it evoked the feeling of actually being in the setting where it took place....an isolated town in Mexico. It truly felt as if I were there, feeling and smelling the flowers and the air.

A truly fascinating read......many stories inside a story.

Doer reminds me somewhat of Wallace Stegner. Loved the descriptions of the land.

One of my faves.

The romanticism of Mexico was a little annoying at times, though to her credit there was a character in the story who did that and became a figure of ridicule for it. Apart from that, lush imagery, a page-turner of a story, characters that became close personal friends, a few good laughs and a couple of really fine cryings, one in the chapter entitled Exit the Widow – very much the place my own mother was in at the time I was reading it, in too much pain to make a graceful exit but determined to carry it off.

This was a wonderful book. I loved the relationship between husband and wife. I love the description of the land, and I love their connection to the small mexican town. I believe this book was part autobiographical, which always makes it fun and interesting.
