I'm getting irritated about some inaccuracies with the setting. One, turtle dove is two words and the doves that live in Southern California are mourning doves (turtle doves don't live in North America). Two, it's spring but there are Santa Ana winds, which happen in autumn. A main character raised in the desert should know better...unless Lalami's point is that she's an outsider even though she grew up there?
