After reading The Queen Jade by Yxta Maya Murray I decided to read another of her books, The Conquest. It combines two interests of mine, early Americans (Mayans, Aztecs, etc.) and books, specifically book restoration. The book repairs the main character, Sara, did while she tried to figure out who actually wrote the book she was restoring sounded authentic. I enjoyed the premise of the tale and the magical realism that was part of the story. Sara is one obsessed bibliophile!
