About Bless Me, Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya
Six-year-old Antonio Marez’s world changes when Ultima, a curandera who heals with herbs and magic, comes to live with his family in New Mexico. As Tony moves toward manhood, Ultima watches over him and guides him through childhood bigotry, his brother’s moral collapse, diabolical possession, and violent deaths.
At the heart of this coming-of-age novel are Tony’s family ties and the beliefs he has inherited. He has been schooled in Catholicism while also encountering the magical traditions of the pagan past. Readers interested in magical realism, cultural and religious inheritance, and fiction about the passage from childhood to adulthood may find it especially compelling.
