First time in bookcrossing. We at the w.o.a. community centre hope every1 who reads our books will enjoy them and pass them on.

Thanks for leaving this on the shelf. I shall read it and then pass it on. Cheers!

I collect quotes as I read and here are some from this book:

Could Edward hear her? She did not know? Was there a God, and was there a hereafter? Or was it a fable? T.S. Eliot said: "Without some kind of God, man is not even very interesting?" p133

He looked around the apartment. There were some books piled on a coffee table. He picked them up, one by one, hoping to get an insight into Angel's mind. The titles surprised him: Gabriela, by Jorge Amado; Fire From the Mountain, by Omar Cabezas; One Hundred Years of Solitude, by Garcia Marquez; At Night the Cats, by Antonio Cisneros. So Angel was an intellectual. The books did not fit with the apartment or the women. p75

This was a fun read. It did take me a little bit of time to finish but I did :) There was too much going on with work, family etc.
