What People are Saying About This

James Thomas

[Frank Waters is] on the cutting edge of just about everything we take seriously in this country: a natural environment, our socio-psychological environment (our personal lives, and how we choose to control them), our political relationship with the past, and our political, psychological, and spiritual relationship with the future.

Editorial Reviews

"Mr. Waters has created in Old Maria a character of vital and lyrical intensity. His "people of the valley' are humble, earnest, superstitious, lovable folk, the stuff of nature, the elementary stuff of a decent and prevailing humanity."—The Los Angeles Times


"Readers who are content to take the primitive and ruthless Maria del Valle on her own terms will treasure her and return to her again and again."—The New York Times
