"A haunting, almost uncanny tale of love and honor in which the . . . characters move through a world of secret passions and silences. . . . [Set in Puerto Rico], scenes of impoverished farmers, madwomen, and men in coffee shops and cafes combine to form a blend of voices and landscapes whose essence can be distilled into three words: tobacco, coffee, and sugar."Marjorie Agosin, New York Times Book Review
José Luis González (19261996) was born in the Dominican Republic and lived in Puerto Rico and Mexico. His novels, short stories, and essays have been widely translated and anthologized.
