I'm a really big fan of de Bernieres' early works - and this one was a particular favourite.

I'm very chuffed to be able to share this book with another bookcrosser via the Southern Cross exchange on BookObsessed! Enjoy Talya!!!

From amazon.com....
'While the economy of his small South American country collapses, President Veracruz joins his improbable populace of ex-soldiers, former guerrillas, unfrocked priests and reformed - though by no means inactive - whores, in a bizarre search for sexual fulfilment. But for Cardinal Guzman, a man tormented by his own private daemons, their stupendous, hedonistic fiestas represent the epicentre of all heresies. Heresies that must be challenged with a horrifying new inquisition destined to climax in a spectacular confrontation...'

Included in a book box from Supertalya. Lots of reading coming up!

After reading some great reviews I gave this a try but it just wasn't for me.

Well, I have never heard of this author, but I am willing to give it a try. Thanks!

Enjoy.
