I took this book slowly, as you might sip a cup of xocolatl. It heightens the senses, is almost hallucinogenic. You hear the chirp of the cricket, scent the lake, feel the rumble of the volcano. Moslems, Mexicans, and the Jewish narrator wonder at one another's cultures and I did too. I've read space operas that were less alien and also less human. Finally, the plot is a mystery slowly revealed with satisfying logic. It deserves a big audience, and they deserve it.
