Enchanting

While I wouldn't recommend the book -- it was overly stylized, unrealistic, and (worst of all) dull -- this passage touched me:

"She recounted everything in that special Maya way, her eyes lighting up, her lips dancing in half-smiles, her hands flying everywhere. Prem stopped listening and concentrated on the aesthetic spectacle of Mayaspeak, trying not to hear the actual words."
