Echevarria - Paperback

by Gretchen Skivington (Author)

Echevarria is a new house, a new world, etxe (house) berria (new). It tells one hundred years of solitude and family history in Elko, Nevada and the Basque diaspora. The new family in the West is the necessary and awkward melding of Basque, Mexican, Chinese and Anglo settlers on the frontier. The human family is eternal and inviolable and there is only one story to tell--the intercise of young boy and young girl and the eternity of love. Death is its companion. And at the center of their journey is Echevarria--the Basque hotel.
