Title: Overrated
Review: I was quite disappointed that a book that was marketed as literature could be filled with so much garbage. I found the main character's discovery of the native Americans to be not much more than the "noble savage" mistake. Especially nauseating was her reference to the "bread that smelled like love." Although I agree with the author's point of view about Central America and about the environment, I found her so preachy that I wanted only to disagree with her!! One bright spot is the inclusion of sections written in the father's point of view. These parts were ethereal, poignant and not sappy at all. I'd only recommend this book to someone who likes romance novels but is embarrassed to carry around those garrish softcovers
