For this journey home to see his bohemian mother Helen and settle his future at Father's bank serves another purpose: to steal information that will assist the revolutionary cause. His rendezvous with a woman terrorist whose identity he does not yet know leads him beyond the limits of safety into a constant fear of betrayal.
The life of the Old City, with its corrupt racial mix of ladinos and indios, rich and poor, pimps, businessmen, anarchists, is about to erupt into violence. And from the shadows will emerge Don Alfonso, a rich and sinister eccentric, now seen as a man of immense political ambition. George's father, cousins, mother, mother's lover: all will be manipulated by Don Alfonso. There will be no going back. At last the confrontation must come between Don Alfonso and George.
Jack Beeching has written a superbly subtle novel, charged with tension and irony. Characters and atmosphere will linger on long after you have finished reading this graphic statement about people caught in a terrifying contemporary social predicament.
Jacket: A quetzal - the long-tailed bird that dies if you put it in a cage, and therefore a symbol of freedom.
