Lead Review

• Book: The Last Prince of the Mexican Empire
• Location: Mexico
• Author: C M Mayo

“A stunning achievement, an inspired novel that steers clear of boring history lessons and instead zeroes in on the smallest epicenter — Principe Agustin de Iturbide y Green — to spiral out into a wondrous period, 1860s Mexico, a time of political possibility and unrest in which “persons who do not appear to share even a footprint’s worth of common ground turn out to have destinies bound together in painful knots.”–El Paso Times
