Arrived in perfect shape. Even better condition than expected. I had been looking for a copy with this cover for sentimental reasons, so it means a lot to me to have this.

A coming of age story (Young lad in 1940's New Mexico, USA) that has some Spanish untranslated throughout it. Nowhere did I read this in the couple of reviews I did see prior to purchasing this book. ... If you do not know Spanish be prepared to use a Spanish-English Dictionary or an online translator as you read this. That is unless every time you hit those pesky words/lines you either want to just skip over them hoping they are non-essential to the story or call a friend that does speak and understand Spanish. If you do decide to call a friend be sure to put them on your cell phone's frequent call plan.
Great book, really enjoyed reading it.

Bless me Ultima was my favorite book many years ago. When I heard a movie was filmed in NM of this book, I purchased a copy on E-bay and read it again. It is a fabulous book for those who are interested in curanderas and also the life in New Mexico beginning in the 1940's. The writing is rich in New Mexican Spanish vocabulary, and one can visualize the people, landscapes, and pueblos of this era.
no good
