From the inside flap:All Soul's Day. A village in the Bolivian highlands is celebrating a wedding with feasting and dancing in the graveyard, so that the beloved dead may share in the richness of life. It is a ceremonial of joy. But the very insistence on life that it embodies and symbolizes carries its own seeds of disaster. For the bridegroom is a young recruit who will go off next morning to the jungle to fight in the long war that is-everyone knows it-already lost; his mother, determined that he will return safe and whole to his bride, has enlisted the sorceress Luisa to provide a potent charm, for which, of course there is a price. One of the wedding guests, Manuel (he who could and did, before he was blinded in the war, have any girl in the village), is impelled by the very occasion of the marriage feast to prove that he is as good a man as he ever was-with catastrophic consequences.
