Frank Cruz is a sardonic post-punk of 30. Born a bouncing baby girl - Francisca - to parents tangled in a doomed love affair, inheritor of his father's wanderlust. Left a crumbling photo of a beautiful woman at his father's deathbed. Fleeing to New York City, where he meets Nathalie - eccentric, gorgeous, sharp-tongued: the spit of the woman in the portrait. Love - seven happy go lucky years. And then in September 2001, the sky falls apart...

This is a good book that I didn‘t really like. Written in close first person POV and from time to time the narrator addresses the reader. Being in Frank‘s head was claustrophobic even though he‘s likable. And that deeply passionate love at first sight, which never abates, felt exhausting and emotionally immature after awhile. Frank and his girlfriend Nat are too “extra” in today‘s lingo. Still a 4 star pick.
