More about the book
Set in the late 19th century, the narrative explores the lives of two Roman Catholic clergy, Jean-Baptiste Lamy and Joseph Projectus Machebeuf, in New Mexico. Rather than following a singular plot, it features stylized retellings and digressions that include significant stories, such as the legend of Our Lady of Guadalupe and the murder of a Spanish priest. The third-person omniscient narration weaves in fictionalized accounts of historical figures like Kit Carson and Pope Gregory XVI, enriching the historical context.
