A visionary author returns with his most ambitious novel yet, about the Apache warrior Geronimo and the fiercely fought end of an era of almost unimaginable freedom.**
In the contested borderlands between Mexico and the United States, a Mexican woman flees into the desert after a devastating raid on her dead husband's ranch.
A federale of the new Mexican Republic, sent in pursuit of cattle rustlers, discovers he's on the trail of a more dramatic abduction.
Decades later, with political ambitions on the line, the American and Mexican militaries try to manoeuvre the most legendary of Apache warriors into surrender.
In our own day, a writer and his family travel through the region in search of the traces of history.
Now I Surrender and That Is All is Alvaro Enrigue's most ambitious and impassioned novel yet: orchestrated with a stunningly imagined cast of characters, both historical and purely fictional, their storylines playing out in multiple eras. Part epic, part spaghetti Western, it weaves past and present, and myth and history, into a searing elegy for a way of life that was an incarnation of true liberty—and an homage to the spark in us that still thrills to its memory.
