National Book Prize finalist Cristina Garcia offers a robust and gorgeous book about the intertwining lives of the denizens of a lavish hotel in an unnamed Central American capital in the midst of politics turmoil. The lives of six men and women converge over the course of one week. There's a Japanese-Mexican-American matadora around for a bull-fighting competition; an ex-guerrilla now working as a waitress in the hotel coffee shop; a Korean producer with an underage mistress ensconced in the honeymoon vacation suite; a global adoption attorney of German descent; a colonel who determined atrocities during his country's long civil warfare; and a Cuban poet who has come with his American better half to adopt an area infant. With every day, their lives become further entangled, leading to the sudden the clash of histories and the draw of revenge and desire. Cristina Garcia's impressive orchestration of politics, the intimacies of lifestyle, and the frailty of individuals dynamics unfolds in a moving, ambitious, often comic, and unforgettable tale.
