The Reverend Sarah Obadias is busted, bitter, and stripped of the reassurance of beliefs when she strolls into a Western Town restaurant in Manhattan. Here she encounters Abraham Darby, a rumpled but well-regarded painter who seduces the minister into his life of unnecessary and emotional power. "I've try to escape from my entire life," Sarah tells him. "I understand," Darby replies. "Take mine." But also for Sarah,every day with the musician will bring a new simple fact - or lack of it. Dancing through the book is the mystical Yago, the gay kid of Darby and the Costa Rican painter Alejandra Morales Díaz. But Alejandra's appearance further discomposes Sarah, and Yago provides no quiet or clearness when she encounters him: "Somehow he has carried her to an unfamiliar express of mindless eroticism. Finally she pulls nearer to Yago, going to caress him in a few horrible mixture of mothering and lust" Bloodlines become squiggled and unreliable as the book explores the ever-changing relationship between fathers and sons and what takes its family. Throughout, one question lingers: What really performed happen when a little youngster was swallowed by the sea? Laced with laughter and a linguistic vibrancy, this tale of converging fates becomes a contemplation of beliefs, faithfulness, and the sticky, often annoying and frightening nature of religious and emotional expansion.
