Review:
'A drama of thwarted passions, the conflict between masculine reason and female intuition, Enlightenment rationality and native superstition ... Thoroughly enjoyable' Guardian 'A haunting atmosphere, skilfully described ... Surreal and evanescent' New York Times Book Review 'Thomson has an astonishing eye for detail, coupled with a flair for plots that are both neat and profound' Times Literary Supplement 'Extraordinary ... Human passions in all their grandeur and frailty are explored under a hot Mexican sky ... Thomson writes with an intensity that mirrors the emotions - all strongly felt - of his unusual cast of characters' Daily Mail
