Review: This is how you write an original story inspired by another work of art

I love this author's stories, but when I bought this one for some reason hearing that this work was inspired by "Brokeback mountain" made me put it aside and only pick it up today. Oh I had no doubt that this author will give all the necessary credit to the work of art that inspired her and will create something original based on it, no what worried me is the ending of Brokeback mountain. I was worried that this work may also have overload of angst and the ending I usually do not care for (of course there are always exceptions to the rule). I should not have worried. Other reviewers already went into detailed description of plot and characters, so  I won't do that. I will just say that both Bobby and Alejo felt very real and sympathetic characters to me and their connection was so strong and I loved it so much. I loved everything about these guys - how their culture influenced them so much, their struggles, their mistakes and their triumphs (the main one for me that they finally managed to end up together. I loved how "Brokeback mountain" was incorporated in the story, of course I did.
