Based on truth, this is a series of short novellas about Bishop Latour and Father Vallient, two Catholics who travel from Cincinnati to New Mexico in order to start spreading the good word and set up a diocese.
I spent some time of my childhood in Albuquerque, so the references to mesas and pueblos and the Arapaho stirred my memories. Would others be as fascinated? I don't think so.
In my opinion, if you want to read a good book about the "taming" of New Mexico, get "Angle of Repose" by Wallace Stegner.
2.5 out of 5.0 Mexican Coffees.
