Making Love in Spanish

A novel about a jetsetting, intelligent, and driven Filipina named Maxine. Based in Johannesburg, South Africa, she is a mother of three and has just survived both an acrimonious divorce and a twit of a husband. Now free and approaching fifty, she reflects on and narrates her various love affairs and sexual encounters that are curiously all with Spanish-speaking men. At times, blithely witty, explicitly erotic, and hilariously outrageous, the novel is told from the point of view of a woman who rises from both her recent past and conservative upbringing, as she tries to get both her sexual and moral bearings in what is suddenly a brave, new life.
