Summary:
"In this highly praised second novel by the author of Stones of Ibarra the characters find themselves waiting, hoping, and living in rural Mexico--a land with the power to enchant, repel, and change all who pass through. Each of the North Americans who settles in Amapolas interacts with the landscape and the Mexican residents in a different way, but it is Ursula Bowles--born in Mexico and now returning near the end of her life--who comes to the truest understanding of the nature of the places."--Page 4 of cover.
