Summary

Willa Cather's best known novel is an epic--almost mythic--story of a single human life lived simply in the silence of the southwestern desert. In 1851 Father Jean Marie Latour comes to serve as the Apostolic Vicar to New Mexico. What he finds is a vast territory of red hills and tortuous arroyos, American by law but Mexican and Indian in custom and belief. In the almost forty years that follow, Latour spreads his faith in the only way he knows--gently, all the while contending with an unforgiving landscape, derelict and sometimes openly rebellious priests, and his own loneliness. Out of these events, Cather gives us an indelible vision of life unfolding in a place where time itself seems suspended.

    If you're after some thrills or suspense, this isn't the book for you. However, if you're fine with delving into the minds of the characters within a story, then this leisurely exploration of a young man's journey to old age, and the relationships he forms along the harsh and untamed landscape, will captivate you. By the time you finish this novel, you'll find yourself developing a deep fondness and admiration for the Archbishop.

    I absolutely loved 'Death Comes for the Archbishop'! It is a truly remarkable and significant novel in the American literary landscape. The way Cather brings the characters, narratives, and concepts to life is truly inspiring. The narration of the audiobook was impeccable, with clear and dignified delivery that was a pleasure to listen to. Considering the various languages present in the book, it must have been quite a task to read them out loud effectively, but the performance was outstanding. I couldn't be happier with it.
