He attempts to get her to follow the rules for all the right reasons, but eventually understands where he went wrong in both his methods and his thinking. Tio Ali is one of the most endearing characters in the story as the philosophical uncle of the impulsive and headstrong Jade. Other issues are touched upon including the practice of FGM (not in the Qur'an and condemned by Tio Ali as an antiquated barbaric tribal practice), veiling, arranged marriages, divorce and child custody issues, the actual Muslim viewpoint on marital sex (very good news here), and inter cultural relations. The misogyny that infects people in the fundamentalist countries is absent from the Muslim characters, who rejoice at the birth of healthy daughters and love them as much as their sons. We don't normally get a look at Muslim family values in the US, and many who have not watched this excellent novela will never know the fascinating things to be learned from it. I made an exception for El Clon (as it was called in the US) and I'm glad I did. I normally don't watch things that are dubbed into another language: It annoys me to not know whether the dubbing actor's voice matches that of the one on screen, and it also bothers me that emotional nuances of the original actors' performances could be lost in translation. The appearing of the clone changes completely the lifes of the other characters of the plot. We have then, an uncommon love triangle: Lucas becoming the rival of himself. The clone is not Lucas, but it is the image that Jade loved during her whole life. That's when the clone appears, made by Lucas' godfather without his knowledge, the geneticist Albieri. Jade gets upset, trying to find, in the forty years old Lucas, what is left from the person she once fell in love with. Jade, in the other side, lived all this time imagining that her life would be much happier if she had married him. But life didn't run well for him: he separates with Jade and, during the twenty years that have passed during the novel, he's not the same thing physically, his projects are lost by the way, he has no more the tenderness, the romantic atmosphere, and the poetry of before.
