This book is very different from older books of the same author that I've read. It seems more shallow, more crude, with elements of a romance novel. It tells the story of an annual meeting between brothers, the older one, and the hero of the story is extraordinarily handsome with all the benefits that are associated with such characteristic. During this one most recent meeting the older brother tells a story that happened 20 year earlier (this is where the romance/suspense aspect comes into play). In the midst of this storytelling are interwoven memories of both brothers of their parents and their lovers. [264 pp.]
