Sample Book Insights:
#1 When we want a happy ending, it depends on where we stop the story. In a bar on Colombia’s Caribbean coast, a tanned, tattooed American man was eating coconut rice and fish with a young English woman who had been reading a book when she started talking about scuba-diving in Mexico. She gave him a few clues about a hidden hurt.
#2 While the waitress was collecting plates heaped with crab claws and fish bones, I was reminded of the Oscar Wilde quote Be yourself; everyone else is taken. That was not quite true for her. She had to make a bid for a self that possessed freedoms the Big Silver took for granted.
#3 To speak our life as we feel it is a freedom we rarely take, but it seemed to me that the words she wanted to say were lively inside her, mysterious to herself as well as anyone else.
