Book and wrapper still in good condition. >>> A departure for John Masters, both in background and in mood and tempo. It is a story of conflict- the problems of an old people, the Spaniards, bound by tradition and a way of life, in opposition to a young people, the Americans, whose ""charity"" they resented, whose dominance they resisted in the ways they had. There is conflict too between Protestantism and Catholicism, between the power to believe and to accept on faith and the need to recognize proof. And all of these conflicts come to their climaxes through the loves and hates, the sense of responsibility and of duty, on the part of Masters' characters. (Kirkus)
