When Jean-Baptiste Lamy and Joseph Projectus Machebeuf accept a commission to establish a Catholic diocese in New Mexico, they know they are in for a few trials.
'Death Comes for the Archbishop' is an enchanting story that is part travelogue and part adventure, with flashes of the Wild West thrown in, as the territory the main characters get to explore is pretty wild, rugged, and challenging.
This evocative novel sweeps across New Mexico, dealing with religion, the ill-treatment of native people, death and hypocrisy.
This book is ideal for fans of Graham Greene's 'The Power and the Glory' and of Cormac McCarthy.
Willa Cather (1873-1947) was an American writer best known for her novels of life on the Great Plains of the United States. After time as a magazine writer and editor, then as an English teacher, Cather began to publish collections of her poetry and short stories.
Her first novel, 'Alexander's Bridge', was published in 1912, followed by her 'Prairie Trilogy' - 'O Pioneers!', 'The Song of the Lark' and 'My Antonia'. Numerous other novels followed as Cather became on of the US's most celebrated authors.
In 1923 she won the Pulitzer Prize for her First World War-based novel, 'One of Ours'.
