LOS ANGELES DAILY NEWS
Here is the story of an American journalist who travels to Mexico to report on the upcoming duel between two great matadors, but who is ultimately swept up in the dramatic story of his Mexican ancestors. From the brutality and brilliance of the ancients, to the iron fist of the invading Spaniards, to the modern-day Mexicans battling through dust and bloodshed to build a nation upon the ashes of revolution, James Michener weaves it all into an epic human story that ranks with the best of his beloved, bestselling novels.
A MAIN SELECTION OF THE BOOK-OF-THE-MONTH CLUB
In 1961, Michener began a novel about Mexico. After many months of research and writing, he put the manuscript aside to work on other projects. 30 years later, he rediscovered the lost manuscript--and now he has completed it. In the tradition of Alaska, Texas, and Poland, a stirring, epic novel that brings to life 1,500 turbulent years of Mexican history, as seen through the eyes of an American journalist with Mexican ancestors.
