(Drivebycuriosity) - Do you like books that read like colorful bouquets? Then you might enjoy "A Handbook to Luck" by Christina Garcia (amazon). The book is like an exotic menagery - spiced with funny & hilarious scenes but also tragic & violent episodes (this is a spoiler free blog). The author follows 3 persons from Cuba, San Salvador & Iran and describes in independent chapters their developments & experiences over 2 decades.
I like Garcia´s somewhat sarcastic style & enjoy her sharp & humorous observations but "Handbook" is not my favorite Garcia book. I prefer her "The Lady Matador`s Hotel" which is quite a jewel (my review).
