...rivers, the great tallgrass prairie of central North America covered a quarter of a billion acres, a shimmering sea of grass stretching from what is now Indiana to Kansas, from Canada into Texas. But the soil was indeed ideal for corn, and in the three centuries since, that cultivated cousin of the tallgrasses has thrived. Only a few patches of the original tallgrass prairie are left, many of them scattered across the country in such small plots as old cemeteries and railroad rights-of-way.

If anything, Gonzalez makes her character too wonderful. Roxanne is a woman who fails to recognize her cousin's handwriting for several years, let alone his voice under her window. A properly realized Roxanne should exhibit some stupidity or self-delusion, but Gonzalez seems at the verge of publishing her dissertation on Romantic poetry...
