How do you really leave a country?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This book was highly enjoyable. The short, episodic and almost pulsating chapters were memorable. I had a hard time putting the book down and was almost disappointed once I had finished it. Phelan's sexual encounters may possibly mirror anyone's awkward first times or getting caught in the act. However, the title of the book is a bit perplexing. How does one leave a country anyway?
captivating; my fave of her works so far; terrific structure

This is the third Cris Mazze book I've read, and it just may be my favorite. Her ability to create real and interesting characters woven into a plot smudged around the edge like charcoal was evident in the novel, and made it fascinating. I found the story romantic, and intriguing in it's plot structure of short-vingettes almost, all connecting to reveal her characters.
