A few Reviews of "Jose Builds a Woman" by Jan Baross

-"Let Baross take you on a wild ride through the extravagantly carnal Mexico of the imagination."-Ursula K. Le Guin, author Left Hand of Darkness-

-"The most evocative work of Latin American style fiction since One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez"

"Jose Builds a Woman" is simply the best book I have ever read." -Writers on the Edge.

"Baross's tightly structured plot moves rapidly and, like a well-crafted screenplay, turns on credible and genuinely surprising reversals at just the right moment each time. Expertise and sophistication at this level of storytelling is remarkable. It makes one hunger for the next novel".- Jewish Review

"Tortugina is a heroine for the ages. Her story is about a commitment to love and honor and self-respect against all odds and along the way it's a wild trip to the Mexico of our dark northern dreams." Joanna Rose-Author: Little Miss Strange.

"One of the most beautiful, honest novels about men women, lovers, mothers and sons, life and death, that you'll ever be privileged to read. Baross has a gift for tender beauty on the page. I can't remember when I last enjoyed a book this much." Molly Gloss, author of Jump Off Creek
