I envy you, reader, because you re in for at least two treats. Capriana Valenti—Ana—is Isabel Tiero’s sister, forced into an abusive marriage she find herself drawn to a voice in her head that says he is trapped in the walls of her new home. While making the long trip home to Nicaragua to build a utopian artist’s commune on the Island of Solentiname, Cardenal rubs elbows with some of Latin America’s greatest writers and artists of that time. But sometimes the man of your dreams turns out to be your worst nightmare. The idea of himhis looks, his career, his to-die-for accentfuels fantasies of home, hearth, and a whole new life across the Pond. Tongue in cheek essay on the hazard of exceptionally sloppy experimental procedures when dealing with dangerous biochemical substances and the far reaching consequences that result. Such a book is Über Alles, by Rob Neff.
