The Troublesome Offspring of Cardinal Guzman

Author(s): Louis De Bernieres

Fiction

While the economy of his small South American country collapses, President Veracruz joins his improbable populace of ex-soldiers, with whores, in a bizarre search for sexual fulfilment. But for Cardinal Guzman, a man tormented by his own private daemons, their hedonistic fiestas represent the epicentre of all heresies that must be challenged.
