I changed a fair amount of stuff. Most notably, perhaps, I specified the "big city" as Los Angeles, since that's pretty clearly what it is. Boyle even specifies the Topanga Canyon area, in the hills northeast of Santa Monica and Malibu. Nightsky 07:01, Nov 18, 2004 (UTC)

Also, isn't this statement untrue? "The Tortilla Curtain is the story of two couples who have nothing whatsoever in common except the fact that they live in the same area." The whole point of the novel is that they have a lot in common, thats why their stories are paralleled. DA723 01:56, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
