Well, this is embarrassing. I didn't even realize there were two different versions of the book (one using a mix of English and Spanish and one all English) within the one volume. I reviewed the book more fully for the review journal *Rain Taxi*, so I assumed I'd received a strange advance reading copy of the book, and that's why there were two copies of the novel within one volume. My spot checking clearly didn't include the dialogue, or I would have noticed (maybe!) that difference! Well, even if you don't read Spanish, as I don't, I still recommend you try the bilingual version. That's what I particularly liked about the book--we often read to escape; this book actually came as close as any has to making me truly feel like I had been dropped outside my comfort zone.
