This review refers to the Kindle version of this book. The first thing one notices when reading this book is that it is full of typos. Unfortunately, most of the early Sharon McCone books that have recently been released as Kindle editions suffer from not having been properly scanned, formatted or edited, but this is one of the worst. I'm not marking it down because it's not fair to the author, but if the author or publishers read reviews, they need to know that a long time McCone fan will ignore them in order to reread a favorite author, but folks new to the series might think it's just another one of those amateur wannabe writer's who doesn't realize that it's a "Do not disturb SIGN" not a "do not disturb SING" or that most narrow streets are not lined with "cards"! I bookmarked 32 such errors, and I'm sure I missed quite a few.
That being said, this is still one of my favorites of Marcia Muller's early books. It's obvious that the book is from a time when the technology we've all come to rely on has not been perfected yet. so plugged in all the time. She still has to look for a pay phone and still types reports on a Selectric typewriter. But the content still captures the essence of a changing neighborhood and the culture clash as refugees from a war try to integrate into society.
This is also the book where we start to get more details about the folks who work at the All Souls Co-op and we start to see more facets of her life. I will definitely keep reading my way through the series, but I do hope eventually somebody fixes the typos and offers those of us who got the wonky editions a free upgrade!
