The Last Love of Pedro Balaclava's Neighbor

Rating:
Summary: Last Loves Are The Best
Review: In its historical sweep, acute perception of human nature and almost overwhelming flow of telling detail, McGorian's novel can best be described as the literary love child of Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Gore Vidal. Without missing a beat, the author draws the reader along from contemporary Europe to 1950s New England to colonial and present-day Mexico City. And more than just being an etude for impressive literary skills, the book investigates what it means to be alive, to have been alive and to have loved through all the stages of human longing, loss and acceptance. McGorian has plumbed the depths of the beating human heart and the invisible connections that tie us all closer together than we are ever likely to know.
