The Hummingbird's Daughter - Luis Alberto Urrea


A wild story re-creating Mexico in the 1880s. An excellent writter. The Saint of Cabora, a relative of the author, is documented in this historical novel. A most interesting woman and time. An historical novel which has been researched in great detail. One of those books that really transports you into another time. The people come to life. The time seems so long ago as the world around northern Mexico was changing so rapidly. It both makes the reader want be there to experience the relaxed life and yet fear the dangers that existed.
