A quixotic South American social reformer and the aimless North American school teacher who falls in love with him are caught in a dangerous web of deceit and revenge when they are drawn to the Andes by the promise of great wealth.
"[An] intriguing story of a Latin American would-be
revolutionary and his North American girlfriend. Constant
frustration at his impotence in changing his country, and
the burden of the poverty he, his children and sister live
in, push Ordonez into sacrificing his ideals and pursuing
the path of materialistic gain through gold mining.... The
author explores the complexity of human relationships, the
bonds created but also the isolation of the
individual."
