- "Like the orchids that provide their leitmotif, these interwoven stories by the author are exquisite, exotic, and oneiric, as if they had been written in another world. Although each of them stands alone, their characters and moods recur frequently, in a swirl of visual echoes and the bewildering clarity of a dream. Even the characters themselves, with their shifting names and genders, have an illusive reality that enhances the pleasure of these tales."--Publisher website.
