Good literature touches both the mind and the heart, which is evident in this absorbing novel. This is a book that I will re-read and give as a gift to people in my life who value well-written, thought-provoking prose. So many phrases struck a chord with me, but none more than this thought by Paloma: "...pity the poor in spirit who know neither the enchantment nor the beauty of language."
