He loves her as a teenager known as Lily in Lima in 1950, when she flits into his life one summer and disappears again without explanation. He loves her still when she reappears as a revolutionary in 1960s Paris, then later as Mrs. Richardson, the wife of a wealthy Englishman, and again as the mistress of a sinister Japanese businessman in Tokyo. However poorly she treats him, he is doomed to worship her. Charting Ricardo's expatriate life through his romances with this shape-shifting woman, Vargas Llosa has created a beguiling, epic romance about the life-altering power of obsession.<p><p></p><h3>The Washington Post - Jonathan Yardley</h3><p>Mario Vargas Llosa's perversely charming new novel isn't among his major books&#151;it lacks the depth of <i>Conversation in the Cathedral, Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter</i> or even the more recent and less successfu
