| Publisher Description: When Marcus Dalrymple returns to Mexico after an absence of 17 years, he expects to find a country vastly changed. Instead he re-discovers the intoxicating, magical realism of its landscape, culture and its people'I think it was the colours, tastes and smells of Mexico that first struck me as I began the book; vivid, powerful, exotic, and alluring...' (Andrew Dalton, author of 'The Temples of Malplaquet')'Descriptions of drunken policemen, a wild puma in the mountains, the mysterious spirits of a house, a white dog destined to roam for eternity on a volcano, encounters on the road with obliging Mexicans, the scintillating sight of millions of Monarch butterflies or a Christmas posada fuelled by tamales and punch. That is when the reader is transported into a magical world that can only be Mexico.' (Fiona Dunlop author of 'Viva La Revolucion ') |
