description: 1927. American novelist. In this work her focus falls on the Southwest. From the dust cover: Death Comes for the Archbishop is a very beautiful and harmonious piece of work. The whole narrative proceeds with the certainty and proportion of a great piece of music. The theme and its setting have been long and deeply considered; the farther we go the more the atmosphere pervades us; and a gradual knowledge of the character percolates as it were through the mere presentation of the scenes. The writing is as admirable as ever. Sir John Squire in the Observer. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
