#21 - Night of Sorrows

This novel is the second book I've read by an author I'm glad to call my friend. Frances Sherwood writes fluid prose about the invasion of the Aztecs by Cortes, featuring his translator Malintzin. The plot kept me on my toes and I was able to learn some Spanish out of the deal as well. Romance, war, interesting people: this book has it all. An excellent read for mature audiences.
