The year is l854. In Paris, Francisco Solano -- the future
dictator of Paraguay -- begins his courtship of the young,
beautiful Irish courtesan Ella Lynch with a poncho, a Paraguayan
band, and ahorse named Mathilde. Ella follows Franco to Asuncion
and reigns there as his mistress. Isolated and estranged in this
new world, she embraces her lover's ill-fated imperial dream -- one
fueled by a heedless arrogance that will devastate all of
Paraguay.With the urgency of the narrative, rich and intimate
detail, and a wealth of skillfully layered characters, The News
from Paraguay recalls the epic novels of Gabriel Garcia Marquez and
Mario Vargas Llosa.
