Book and wrapper good but not perfect. >>> This is the story of a revolution in western Mexico, its strangely entangled causes and violent consequences. Dr. Argello, although disillusioned, holds to principles of honor and justice and takes life too seriously. He is trapped within the revengeful authority and evils of the Governor, General Maza, Senor Romero and the revolutionary, Manuel Arriados. There are also the passionate daughters of Romero, the primitive Huichole Indians, and the villagers, people who have lived in poverty and the desert for too many generations. Like a star in the Mexican sky is Juan Viste, the peoples hero, born a hundred years too late. His white horse with silver trappings will not avail. - Into this situation, after the burial of his grandmother, Eduardo Zamora, young, inexperienced, seeking to find his lost heritage in the land where he was born, travels by bus from Guadalajara to Las Iguanas, Nayarit, hoping that his uncle, Miguel, will provide him with information and assistance. He encounters poverty, disease, crime, and attitudes towards life that he never dreamed existed. (Goodreads)
