Villasenor continues the sage of his family, this time focusing on his father's family. This book has LOTS more Mexican allegory and saints' stories than his earlier work. Not quite the same impact as [Rain of Gold]. ( ) This story of Victor Villasenor's father and the struggle of his family and friends during the Mexican Revolution immediately draws the reader in and holds him/her spellbound. The author writes with awareness, understanding, humor, pathos, and compassion in telling a story of a boy turned man and his quest for justice and a better life. The small town in the Mexican mountains though poor in "cosas" is rich in "familia", "amigos" y "tradiciones". This is a book that makes the reader "feel"! ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
In his critically acclaimed bestseller Rain of Gold, Victor Villase-or brought his mother's family vividly to life. In Wild Steps Of Heaven, he turns to his father's family, the Villase-ors. Against a vivid backdrop of love and war, magic and heroism, the author breathes life into his father's people--and in particular, the Villase-or women*Margarita, the indomitable matriarch who was swept away by Don Juan Jesus Villase-or on the eve of the Mexican revolution*their beautiful daughters, who find strength and endurance in their mother's faith, and searing passion amidst the turmoil of war. But it is little Juan, the youngest son, through whose eyes this tumultuous saga unfolds. Juan would learn from his brother Jose, a hero of the revolution, how to be a man; and from his beloved mother, how to live and love con gusto y amor. A story of madness and miracles, rage and redemption, In Wild Steps Of Heaven creates a riveting portrait of an extraordinary family and the country whose earth gave them roots.
