Industry Reviews
"A tender and thoughtful, if at times rather stilted, tale....[I]maginitive, lyrical...."
Kirkus Reviews (07/01/2001)
"A tenderhearted story about a father and mother's rocky love affair, SWIFT displays a consciousness of language and grammar that transforms a romantic tale into an artless lecture....[A]s plodding as an English primer."
Entertainment Weekly - Rebecca Ascher-Walsh (09/21/2001)
"The story of Jubilo's marriage to Lucha, their estrangement and eventual reconciliation, is related in prose that can be cloying...and is accompanied by innumerable recipes for human affection. Despite these flaws, SWIFT AS DESIRE has many charms."
New York Times Book Review - William Ferguson (10/07/2001)
