This well-crafted second novel describes a vast river running between cultures, where the Arizona landscape mirrors the geography of the soul. Even the erotic longing and tenderness cannot bridge the river between lovers. The final moments of this novel gleam with the splendor of a desert sunset - of cinnamon-colored mesas seen from a distance, of food, red wine, generous love and deep sleep. -- Kevin Starr, San Francisco Examiner
