In this new collection of stories, Mayra Santos-Febres draws us into a world pulsing with desires. And she never allows us to feel that we are strangers looking in. We are not granted the comfort of distant analysis. These are vignettes that expand into narratives; the words that flow from visceral passions of her characters become as we watch those needs and desires flower. Santos-Febres forces us to become complicit in the lives of her characters, and we integrate the very emotions that drive these people.
