A read to be considered for fans of historical fiction,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Seven Cities of Mud (Paperback)
When two radically different cultures collide, conflict is inevitable. "Seven Cities of Mud" tells of one of the great historic examples of this, the Spanish arriving in the Americas. Telling of the 16th century meeting of the Pueblo tribe of Native Americans and the Spanish, it follows Franciscan Fray Augustin and Poli, a Pueblo Widow. At first, the meeting is amicable, but the military steps in and things start to go south quickly. "Seven Cities of Mud" is a riveting and saddening tale of Culture Clash, a read to be considered for fans of historical fiction.

This review is from: Seven Cities of Mud (Paperback)
I loved this book. It's not too hard to write about a period for which many original documents, such as newspapers exist. To write credibly about an event in the sixteenth century from only one surviving document is brilliant. The characters were well developed and believable, and the conflict between the priests, the soldiers, and the pueblo people was fascinating and explored thoroughly. Highly recommended
