AMAZON, I LOVED THIS QUEEN,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Love Queen of the Amazon: A Novel (Hardcover)
What a riot! There's no need to repeat the book description above since it captures the wildness of the book very well. This book will take you places you haven't been before with characters you've never known. It's a unique read.
My advice - 1. buy the book; 2. turn off the cell phone and TV; 3. go to the bathroom; 4. find a comfortable location to sit and read with a beverage of choice; 4. read & enjoy.

Latin American magic realism satire?,
By
This review is from: The Love Queen of the Amazon: A Novel (Paperback)
It's set in Peru and Bolivia and maybe Brazil, and is full of erudite literary references and wonderful descriptions of old Lima. At first I thought it was real magic realism but then I thought it was a satire of the genre. The heroine is a sort of sexy female Candide. I was just rereading it and checked Amazon.com for more Cecile Pineda but find everything out of print. The only other review is of a novel called Frieze set in the ancient Orient.

This review is from: The Love Queen of the Amazon: A Novel (Paperback)
Cecile Pineda is an astonishing writer. I have a special fondness for this book because in addition to her usual enchanting prose it has a delicate wit and charm. It's full of sunshine and sensuality and adventure!
