| "This fascinating and well-researched tale will introduce you to the Basque culture and make you look at history with new eyes during a journey on the Santa Maria with a young Basque sailor. The book places you on storm-tossed ships and down in moldy holds. It will take you from first love to first contact. Domingo Laca dreams of going to sea and his dreams are answered, but like all heroic voyages, along with seeing new and exotic places, the hero comes back with losses, and changed forever by the journey. So is the reader." Karen M. Glennon, International Reading Association |
