Title: Started slow, but then picked up...
Product review: This book started a little slow for me. I was almost to the point were I thought about giving up (something I hate to do) when the story and pace picked up and I found myself getting totally engrossed.There is a "cut to the chase" quality about the writing that I really enjoyed. There is no unnecessary dialog and description, just enough to put you in the moment. I particularly liked the fact that there is no clearly defined time and place in which this story is happening (although the President Kennedy reference leads the reader to believe it's the early 1960's.) This story could be taking place anywhere - a South American country, the Dominican Republic or a southern US state.I liked the character of Isabel a great deal. You can really feel her desperation and loneliness. She'll stay with me for a long time. A four star recommendation only because of the slow start.
