<span style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:20px;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;word-spacing:0px;background-color:#ffffff;float:none;">To those of us who like our prose refined, Ms. Eliot has considerable pleasure to offer. And to those of us who like it passionate--well, sample the Hawaiian hurricane that that opens this book. Emily B. would have loved it. And the INNER hurricane, too, is Bronte-esque--the surrender to love that whirls us through the story. &quot;Every day she painted another coat of varnish over the skin of her soul.&quot;</span><br /><span style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:20px;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;word-spacing:0px;background-color:#ffffff;float:none;">But this is not a dark novel or a heavy one. It's a colorful, exotic, danger-filled adventure that bristles with scientific and alchemical speculation, a thriller that makes you sensitive to the sound of a computer in a dark room--and then it's absence. It skips like a stone to Malibu, Milan, Sydney, Varese...an optimistic book. Awe and wonder are with us throughout.</span><br /><span style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:20px;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;word-spacing:0px;background-color:#ffffff;float:none;">&quot;Essentially,&quot; the narrator tells us, &quot;there are two choices to be made in life: to be bitter or not to be bitter.&quot; In Winslow Eliot's distinct voice, bitterness doesn't have a chance.<br />--Robert MacLean, author of <em>The Toby Series, The President's Palm Reader, The Greek Island Murder, </em>and<em> others</em><br /></span>
