Rick Collignon brings us the entire history of the magical village of Guadalupe, New Mexico — from the long ago winter when it was established by a solitary madman making tiny houses in the snow to the moment when it is inexplicably set afire.
Flavio Montoya returns as the aged scion of his family, still tending his dead sister’s fields and wondering how all of his family could have died before him. When the villagers accuse him of starting the fire, it becomes one more mystery that the simple Flavio must fold into his history, though he cannot quite understand it.
A Santo in the Image of Cristóbal García is a beautiful, funny, and even epic story of how all history is finally personal.Praise
