I have owned this book for so many years that I keep going back to it time and time again!
Will appeal to a very specific audience . . .

This story has a bit of a split personality. The first part is quite tedious, as Nickie, the heroine, is called home to testify in the divorce proceedings initiated by her first love, Miguel, against his wife (via an arranged marriage) Marieli. But (HUGE, GIGANTIC SPOILER) the divorce is actually a plot between Miguel and Marieli, who both want out of the marriage. So they get out, and Nickie and Miguel get together . . . Anyhow, wade through all that if you can; the real thrill of this book lies in the wealth of information it provides on Basque culture, and especially Basque culture in the United States. At the same time, the love story between Miguel and Nickie provides some vividly tender moments that are beautiful on their own. Check it out.
