This is more of a note to myself, but recently I've been hankering for a new 5 star read, and figured I'd devote some time to searching for one, instead of grabbing the first thing I see off my bookshelf. This is the first one I've selected that I think might have a shot, and I am quite liking it so far. We'll see how long it takes to find that coveted 5-er :)

Lowry's writing is so immersive - his Mexico is so distinctive and tangible, it feels like stepping into the country every time I open the book, and into the memories of Geoff/Hugh/Yvonne/Jacques. I find the Consul's perspective often very troubling - this is the sort of book that makes you never want to pick up a drink again.
