Texas in 1849. A band of Comanches break into the house where thirteen-year-old Eli McCullough lives, who kill his relatives, burn his property, and take him prisoner. During three years of living among the Indians, the boy falls in love with them and almost forgets his origin. But when his tribe is wiped out by an epidemic, Eli returns to the whites... Eli's cruelty and pragmatism are reflected in the destinies of future generations of McCullough. Love, honor, children - everything is sacrificed for ambition when this family becomes one of the most powerful in Texas. But, like all powerful dynasties, this family must face the consequences of its choices at some point. A perfect work... moves the soul... Only in the most outstanding historical novels do we feel both the breath of the past and our own complicity in the sins of our ancestors. Now Mayer's "Son" was added to these books.
