December 12, 2000: I understand this is the authors first novel and I do hope she writes more. The 'dance' that happened between Claire and 'Ken' was an exciting one that teased and changed with smooth movements. I really enjoyed the clash of their cultures and how a woman prepared for a foriegn culture, such as Claire was, nontheless still found the difference as exasperating as it was compelling. Kei Swanson, I am waiting for more!
