...author's reporting of the color and confusion of this Celtic barcarolle is vivid and poetically evocative, but it is interrupted by personal references that seem self-indulgent. Her sister is flying to Peking, the author mentions several times without explanation.

On the one occasion they treated themselves to a Michaud dinner after a pony came home for him, the meal did not sit well. In a wistful, almost clumsy way, he tells how he was plagued by dark...
