Title: Luke warm
Review: I read this book, egged on by professional reviews. As I plodded through I kept asking myself, am I enjoying it? Do I like it or not? Maybe I'm not in the mood for this. It did make me laugh out loud, sometimes unintentionally, as when 3/4s of the way through the book Sylvia is revealed to be a fully bilingual Latina. How funny that her ethnicity and history really don't color in any way her insights or her interactions with other characters. As a Mexican-American myself, I am alway educating my beloved British husband in the ways of multiple perspectives. Sylvia's ethnicity seemed a good natured attempt of the author to incorporate the actual history and ethnicity of California, but it seems she has no knowledge of minority perspectives; unless, of course, that is only Allegra's right.Next time I'll stick to books recommended by friends.
