Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

""I love Sterling Bennett's prose. It's as spare as the countryside of his Mexico and tough as its mesquite." --Sam Quinones, author, " True Tales from Another Mexico

""Sterling Bennett, a long time resident of Mexico and aficionado of Mexican history, promises a double-barreled read with this novel that gallops south of the border and back in time." --C. M. Mayo, author, " The Last Prince of the Mexican Empire

""In our world of words--and images, and sounds--cheaply and abundantly deployed, Sterling Bennett's acute, observant voice will quickly galvanize your attention and hold it. His haunting account of what happens to Frank, a wayfarer in Mexico, will draw you into a story you'll not easily forget." --Tony Cohan, author, " On Mexican Time

""Sterling Bennett has lived in Mexico long enough and has listened to the rhythms of Mexican life closely enough to capture the pulse and the color of old." --Jonah Raskin, author, " My Search for B. Traven

Reseña del editor:

With prose as stripped down and unforgiving as the Chihuahua Desert itself, this novel is at once a gritty historical adventure, a haunting story of relationships and love, and a story that dares to confront the reader with unanswerable questions. American miner Frank Holloway, reluctant witness to the Mexican Revolution, searches for answers about responsibility through his relationships ranging from a young doctor to an enigmatic woman to Pancho Villa himself. Though set in a time and place where even an impromptu piano recital has life or death consequences, Frank is no different than anyone else; he must shoulder the heavy burden of even the most unforeseen consequences, even when the result is love.
