Reviews
Praise for Mayra Montero: Deep Purple "Deceptively sweet...parodic and sneakily menacing..."--Lisa Ziedner, The New York Book Review The Red of his Shadow The Red of his Shadow is a powerful and important book...a ripping read, which most books that cut across cultures are not, and the story is seductive and glorious." --Amy Wilentz, Los Angeles Times Book Review: The Best Books of 2001 The Messenger The Messenger is like having the best seat in the house at the opera: the characters and their tale haunt the reader long after the 'performance' is over." --Julia Alvarez, author of How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents and YO! "A literary tour de force...A tale of unforgettable beauty."--Los Angeles Times The Palm of Darkness "A dazzling, original fugue on love and extinction"--The New Yorker

Synopsis
From the author of "The Last Night I Spent With You" comes "a captivating tale of love, politics, and death" ("The Charlotte Observer") For fifty years, Andres Yasin has carried a grudge against J. T. Bunker. Now eighty-three-years-old and dying, Bunker wants to tell his side of the story, the story of his affair with Estela, Andres's mother. As a child Andres knew Bunker as the "Captain of the Sleepers"--so called because he transported back to Vieques those who had died on the mainland but wished to be buried at home. But what really happened between Bunker and Estela, and between Estela and her one true love, a leader of the Puerto Rican Nationalist Movement? What did Andres witness, and what were the real circumstances of his mother's mysterious death? Beautifully translated by Edith Grossman, "Captain of the Sleepers" is a startling tale of remembrance and reality, and Mayra Montero's finest book yet.
