Summary
In 1851, Father Jean Marie Latour arrives to serve as the Apostolic Vicar to New Mexico. He finds a vast territory of red hills and tortuous arroyos, American by law but Mexican and Indian in custom and belief. In the almost forty years that follow, Latour spreads his faith gently, all the while contending with an unforgiving landscape, derelict and sometimes openly rebellious priests, and his own loneliness. Out of these events, Cather gives us an indelible vision of life unfolding in a place where time itself seems suspended.

Critics Review
A powerful piece of writing, rich with the essence of a poor but beautiful country and a simple yet dignified people * Sunday Times *
A tremendous, ranging story, economical and distilled as poetry
Quite simply a masterpiece … I am completely bowled over by it; by the power of its writing, by the vividness of its scene painting and by the stories it tells … This is a book which I go on rereading * Daily Telegraph *
Its whole effect works slowly and mysteriously … a major, and rare, artistic achievement
