In this dear and funny first novel, Rick Collignon moves the cool, magical soul of South American Realism to the hot, dry magical heart of the American Southwest, in this story of curious members of the Montoya family.
After young Jose Montoya's parents are killed one morning by a cow, it seems to his aunt Ramona that some members of the family are more quick than dead. Rudolfo Anaya calls this debut novel a haunting story you will not soon forget, told in gifted style.
