Official synopsis Publisher
Thank you, Cecil, for giving me the opportunity to read your latest book A Mexican Twilight. I found it to be a wonderful blend of family, political, and local history set in Mexico and the United States. Your weaving of factual history related to your family and the two countries, with mental images of how it must have been, created a beautiful story that makes the reader want to stay close to the journey with your characters. The careful placement of short Mexican dialogue throughout the book is enough to make a person, not familiar with the language, try the words as they look at the translation following each passage.
A Mexican Twilight also provides the novel reader with a pleasant time of reading. For historians, it gives a softened way of looking at the history of the two countries through the eyes of people who were there, or continue the oral history of how it was in those dramatic times.
Much of written history seems to be written from eyes at the top. Thank you for presenting a view from street level, where there was not always hard pavement and defined routes.
