Vivid,
fast-moving
and
often
dazzling
...
The
pace
leaves
you
breathless
Pig's Footis as catchy as a piece of Cuban music, defers to Latin America's literary tradition and shimmers with a likable swagger all its own
Elegant and seductive
A little pressure cooker of a novel
Spellbinding ... Acosta does for prose what he has done for the ballet, bringing to it a muscular sexiness and a rural saltiness
An exuberantly enjoyable tale
An enormously warm-hearted novel: tearful at times, triumphant at others
