Media Reviews
"Richly sardonic...One could not find a more vivid caricature of that lethal blend of machismo, braggadocio, and hypertrophic sense of honor that sullies South American society." -- John Fowles

Publisher's Notes
"EXQUISITELY HARROWING . . . . Very strange and brilliantly conceived. . . . A sort of metaphysical murder mystery. . . . The murder will stand among the innumerable murders of modern literature as one of the best and most powerfully rendered."
A mysterious and haunting tale of romance and murder, that begins with the marriage of a man and a woman in love. But when he inexplicably mistreats his beloved on the night of the wedding, he is in turn murdered by her brothers, and we are left with a strange sense of inevitability and passions gone terribly awry.
