Two priests are despatched from Rome to New Mexico to reinvigorate Catholicism among the locals, knowing little of the challenges that await them. Over almost four decades they encounter a rich variety of people, from rebellious Mexican priests to steadfast Native Americans uninterested in changing their longstanding customs. This is a work of wisdom and beauty, and a portrait of an enduring friendship, from one of America’s most celebrated novelists.
