Death Comes for the Archbishop
About the book
In the sun-drenched deserts of New Mexico, two missionaries confront more than hardship—they confront the soul of a nation in the making.
Death Comes for the Archbishop is Willa Cather's luminous and poetic novel chronicling the spiritual journey of Father Jean Marie Latour and Father Joseph Vaillant as they bring Catholicism to the American frontier in the 19th century. Based on historical figures, the story reflects on themes of faith, isolation, cultural fusion, and human endurance with elegant restraint and spiritual grace.
More than a historical novel, this is a meditation on landscape, morality, and the quiet dignity of lives devoted to service and sacrifice.
