Swift As Desire

Rating:
Summary: Enjoyable
Review: This was an enjoyable short novel about love and understanding. Esquivel's main character, Júbilo, was a telegraph operater with the ability to read/see and interpret another person's thoughts and feelings. Júbilo used his gift to get people together and make his way through life. Unfortunately, his gift did not always work in his favor, all of which comes out in his love for his wife and family. "Swift as Desire" has a few slow parts that drag parts of the novel down, but overall it's worth reading.
