5.0 out of 5 stars love and survival in 1984 nicaragua, 9 Jun 2000
By A Customer
a departure from johnson's weightless gift for pitch perfect realism...revolution torn, humid nicaragua, 1984, a prostitute (or is she a journalist?) with a drink problem drifts thru corrupt sandanista versus contras climate, finding herself strangely protective of a hapless Englishman who pays for her body and then plays for her heart....the same gorgeous writing style floats throughout...amazing..more evidence of Johnson's unmissable genius -Nick Johnstone

5.0 out of 5 stars Bears comparison to Conrad, 20 Feb 2008
By emma who reads a lot (London) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Set in Nicaragua, this book dumps you naked into the life of a small-time journalist who makes dollars by whoring herself... The thing is that it's just wonderful. The first time you read it, it's so densely written and strange that you may miss loads of the great writing effects - the second time, it's like drinking a really refreshing drink. A really great book about what happens when you are a stranger in someone else's country. Really did make me think of Conrad - for the tightly written style, the dark sense of foreboding, and the exotic setting, telling you something about all human nature. Really highly recommended.
