I really love this book. I think it comments on being distanced from experience and authentic emotions. It builds slowly and has several puzzles within it. Reminds me in some ways of Abre Los Ojos, a favorite movie of mine.
I thoroughly enjoyed this story told alternately through the perspectives of two cousin who were spiritually conjoined. It was an elegant study in culture, tradition, feminism, problem-solving, and persistence. While it could be said that this book addresses problems that are unique to women, I felt that its most important message applies directly to both men and women - find your strength and answers inside yourself. External forces can never satisfactorily meet your needs. P.S. And I should have mentioned that it's an interesting book that is hard to put down!
