One reviewer wrote that The Golden Chalice of Huanhpu was "An amazing feat of storytelling: envisioning the Guatemala of 500 years past with it’s richness of clashing worlds. Clearly well researched linguistically as well as historically, the author evokes and gives life to characters very different from each other (and from ourselves); through their differing speech patterns their consciousness is revealed. This creates a dreamlike and hypnotic atmosphere in which the reader can feel safe in going back in time with an intelligent and compassionate guide." The novel won the 2015 BAIPA Book Award for Fiction.view less
