Summary: intense! Irecomend it!
Comment: I chose to read this novel because I'm a vintage car fan... but ended up being a mexico city fan, too.

The most interesting thing about this book is the way a romance that seems impossible at first, ends up being the only possible answer, in an impossibly crazy city.

Read it!

Summary: Smart, funny, deep.
Comment: Modelo is an excelent novel that satarts slowly seducing you, but towards the end, you are completley blown away by the passion between an elderly virgin and a young taxi driver. A great way to see through the eyes of love a very particular Mexico City.

Summary: Modelo Antiquo: A love story
Comment: This is one of my favorite books. The story begins with an older woman about 74, who who wants a driver to ride her around the city in which she has lived her life, as she feels that she is about to die. The cab driver who accepts this position is a sometimes crude, rude, and nefarious young man of about 25. Modelo Antiguo is synonomous for the old woman who is still a virgin, and her car in which they drive. As the two proceed around the city the life of the woman is tenderly, poignantely, and sometimes comically revealed, as is the character of the young man. The beauty of this book is the love that transpires as these two unlikely souls meet and are transformed. Defying boundaries of class, age, and time, in an intricate weave of past and present, this is a beautiful, believable, love story.
