Great read, great author - I thoroughly enjoyed this book!,
By Keith (Reno, Nevada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Basque Hotel (The Basque Series) (Paperback)
This book is absolutely fantastic. Robert Laxalt does an excellent job of taking the reader back to the years of Prohibition and places them right in the midst of the lives of a Basque family living in Carson City. Pete, the main character, is a boy who experiences several adventures, mishaps, and important life lessons throughout the pages of this book. It is an easy read, with several enjoyable episodes, and one could simply take it on that surface level. It also, however, gives great insight into the conditions that Basques had to deal with living in Nevada. It deals with prejudice, family issues, and more in a bitterly nostaligic manner that leaves the reader not only entertained, but pondering the life depicted by Laxalt. For anyone interested in Nevada or Basque culture, this is a must read!
