Review:
"The memoir of the Scottish-born Fanny Calderon de la Barca of her stay as a diplomat's wife in Mexico, published more than a century ago, is one of the most enduring, lighthearted and informative books ever written about that complicated country. Her "Life in Mexico describes a nation and a people just entering their third chaotic decade of independence. . . . She was an inspired an literate gadabout and a sharp-eyed, tart-tongued critic of manners and morals. She recorded her observations with fidelity, insight and wit."--"New York Times
