Book

The law of love / Laura Esquivel ; translated by Margaret Sayers Peden.

Esquivel, Laura, 1950- (Author). Peden, Margaret Sayers. (Added Author).

Summary:

"Fusion of science fiction and adventure-romance attempts to produce a multimedia 'event' that narrates through comic-strip panels and period music on accompanying CD. New Age tracts, precolumbian poetry, Puccini arias, and tedious plots never achieve narrative coherence in spite of Peden's adequate translation"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58. http://www.loc.gov/hlas/
