LOVESICK

A romantic novel of Mexico's tumultuous first fifty years in the twentieth century is told from the point of view of an intelligent, spirited and passionate woman. Fans of "The John Laraquette Show" will immediately recognize narrator Torres's distinctive voice. Here she seems new to reading aloud, taking the better part of the first side to rev up. Except for her authentic pronounciation of Spanish names, she brings nothing special to the gracefully written story, but at least she doesn't get in its way.
