Rosens seven tales find characters coping with everyday realitieslove, death, parenthood, and faithas well as wide-ranging internal observations and provocations large and small. In the tender A Second Language, Albert Benson ventures to Oaxaca, Mexico, to immerse himself in the country and take Spanish lessons. While there, he meets Maria, who is accompanying her elderly mother on vacation, and the two form a meandering relationship that reawakens the prospects of love as well as its haunting memories. The title tale follows a mission boat on its way to Africa in the mid-1800s. When one missionary becomes seasick, he begins to reconsider his connection to God as well as his intentions to fulfill his service, much to the chagrin of his fellow missionaries. With A Good White Hunter, a displaced Englishman living in Africa finds himself unintentionally married to three women. Unable to pay for his many childrens school fees, he attempts a slipshod robbery of his employers store. Settings fluctuate between Africa, Mexico, and New England, incorporating varied textures of landscape and culture within Rosens measured stories. --Leah Strauss.
