What was the editor thinking??? Did he just take this writer's money to publish this twelve-year-in-the-making novel that is so long winded - 1348 pages!!! and convoluted.
The historical fictional aspect of the true character, Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz alone would have made for a GREAT novel, and the only readable chapters. But Anderson tried too hard to overlay a contemporary tale of a philandering professor and a dead, obsessed student which undercuts the entire novel. Too bad.
