Overview
An emotional, dramatic and philosophical novel about Americans drawn into a small Central American country on the brink of revolution.Synopsis
An emotional, dramatic and philosophical novel about Americans drawn into a small Central American country on the brink of revolution.
Salon - Reynolds Price
It's the work of a living American, one who has slowly but with steadily strengthening power published five novels, unsurpassed so far as I know by his current peers.... As in all Stone's novels, the story itself, the rhythm with which it's unreeled, the severity of the prose and the final resonance of all components are bleak, if not terrible.
