sas408's review against another edition
4.0
This book was really well written and the characters are engaging. Enrique is smart, good with numbers and takes care of his father, the only family he has left. Marta longs for children but babies her much older husband instead. Leila is the most baffling character - she seems so independent and strong willed but bows to her mother's demands and husband's tyranny. Family obligations, and the life decisions we make because of family, are evident throughout the book - family can be loving and nourishing but also constricting and limiting.
