"Mayo's reanimation of a crucial period in Mexican history should satisfy history buffs and those in the mood for an engaging story brimming with majestic ambition. -- Publisher's Weekly "a swashbuckling, riotous good time, befitting the fairy-tale promise of the opening sentence" -- Austin American-Statesman "Mayos cultural insights are first-rate, and the glittering, doomed regime comes to life" -- Library Journal "I have read a few sweeping historical novels that have remain inside of me forever. Tolstoy's War and Peace is one of those, Dickens's A Tale of Two Cities is another, Pasternak's Doctor Zhivago is another, and now The Last Prince of the Mexican Empire is another." -- Mexico Connect ~ * ~ Praise for C.M. Mayo's Miraculous Air: "With elegant prose and an artist's eye for detail, Mayo may just have written one of the best books ever about Baja California. Highly recommended" Library Journal "Ay, if only I had been at C.M. Mayo's side in her rendezvous through Baja California... My recourse is her joyful, intellectually sparkling chronicle" Ilan Stavans, author of The Hispanic Condition ~ * ~ Praise for C.M. Mayo's Sky Over El Nido: "some of the most exquisitely fashioned, perfectly measured prose alive in the world today." Naomi Shihab Nye "The haywire circuits of our whole electrically but not ethically connected global village stand exposed in Mayo's work. Sky Over El Nido won the 1995 Flannery O'Connor Award for Short Fiction. I am not suprised." David Toolan, S.J., Commonweal ~ * ~ Praise for C.M. Mayo's Mexico: A Traveler's Literary Companion: "This delicious volume has lovingly gathered a banquet of pieces that reveal Mexico in all its infinite variety, its splendid geography, its luminous peoples. What a treat!" Margaret Sayers Peden, editor, Mexican Writers on Writing "It will open your eyes, fill you with pleasure and render our perennial vecinos a little less distante."
