“With his superb command of history and talent for storytelling, America’s number one novelist sweeps us across the centuries in a colourful, violent land. Norman Clay, an American journalist, arrives in Mexico to cover the decisive duel between two celebrated matadors – and to learn more about his family’s roots. As Clay uncovers the story of his Mexican ancestors – among them an indomitable Indian queen, a conquistador priest, and a Confederate expatriate – we watch the dramatic history of Mexico unfold before us: the brilliance and brutality of an ancient native culture; the Spaniards’ savage quest for gold, souls and glory; and the birth of a modern nation in war and revolution.”
