She was one of the first authors marketed with that "label" and she said the challenge of it was the sheer diversity in Latin cultures. People from Argentina are going to have different experiences, customs etc. than say, people from Portugal or Mexico, or Costa Rica. "Hispanic" is not one size fits all.<br /><br />Nath: I loved the different setting in this one. I also appreciated that the author took the time to make it "feel" exotic for the reader. Sometimes you read a story that's supposed to take place in Greece or Italy or where ever, and there's no "flavor." It could be taking place in Wyoming for all the reader knows :)<br /><br />Marelou: Glad you enjoyed it!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12485867264936716806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-6662721985346168572011-05-15T18:34:08.438-07:002011-05-15T18:34:08.438-07:00Found the book at King Sooper's last night, ju...Found the book at King Sooper's last night, just finished reading it!

"They" were supposed to restore it, and the comments, but alas - it's now mid-day Saturday and this post and comments were still MIA. So I've reposted - but LOST the comments. <br /><br />Bugger.<br /><br />But did want to mention Lauren's comment about her boyfriend (husband?) being from Argentina but looking European, since so many Europeans did settle in South America. I had forgotten about that! Of course reading her comment jogged the deep, dark recesses of my memory....Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12485867264936716806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-60809002869544454832011-05-12T11:11:08.712-07:002011-05-12T11:11:08.712-07:00Great review.

People always think he's Scottish or something 'cos he's pale with auburn hair. There are tons of European bloodlines in Argentina and a wide range of skin tones.laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18121052523895234118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-71593536624664450662011-05-12T06:42:28.747-07:002011-05-12T06:42:28.747-07:00I became immediately interested in this just becau...I became immediately interested in this just because of the setting.Victoria Janssenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12259793807283856761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-15124661271839902892011-05-12T06:34:20.281-07:002011-05-12T06:34:20.281-07:00Wendy, my critique partner saw this before I did a...Wendy, my critique partner saw this before I did and sent me right over. <br /><br />LOVED your review.
