GoodBookStall Review:
Maria Lopez Vigil spent hundreds of hours taping and transcribing the words and writings of many people including news flashes and diary excerpts of Oscar Romero’s himself. From these she has woven this collective portrait. The translation into English has also been undertaken with love and dedication, so that we can read words as closely as possible to those in the original languages. This is a remarkable book that held my attention from start to finish. Not at all what I expected, the first part is mainly criticism, the second tells an inspiring story of a non political Archbishop endeavouring through very political difficulties to lead his flock in the way of Jesus.
