I found this book in an Airbnb apartment in the Washington DC area. It was left there by a previous reader, with the inscription:
" November 16, 2014
The heat and dust of Los Angeles is in sharp contrast with the opulence of the rain here in DC. This is a book that will warm you up and dry your bones on a few winter evenings.

A young struggling writer in L.A. falls for a Mexican waitress. She loves another who rejects her. Black, gritty, up-beat style, that brings alive the pulse, passion and tragedy of the story.

For ETMadrid who had this book on her wishlist.
Happy reading!

What a lovely treat! This was in my letter box this morning, along with card, tea bag and book mark. Wish I had nothing else to do but put my feet up and dive in! Thank you so much vaga-bonde. I think I heard it being discussed on the radio a while ago.
