The story it tells is that of a songle human life, lived simply in the silence of the desert. In 1851 Father Jean Marie Latour comes as the Apostolic Vicar to New Mexico. What he finds is 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 in the only way he kinow, gently. Out of these events Cather gives us an indelible vision of life unfolding in a place where time itself seems suspended. |
