A sharply intelligent, passionately written novel. - Oscar Hijuelos, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love ""Funny, always vibrant with its surreally intense characters. It is a great read, not only for the ironies and wry humor about the human condition, but also because it celebrates human diversity"" - Susan Smith Nash, World Literature Today

Set in strife-torn Guatemala City in the early 1980s, this sophisticated, quasi-comedic tale depicts the decline and near-fall of a prominent Guatemalan Jewish family.
