In the Palm of the Jaguar David Aaron Desoto

In the Palm of the Jaguar is an adventure tale of unrequited love, enlightenment, and the heart of human conflict. Beginning with quick vignettes of historical fiction ranging from the conquest of Mexico to 1990's Italy, the reader is given compact flashbacks as puzzle pieces with which to dissect the main narrative. The ultimate search for true love and self-awakening unfolds along the highways of the United States and small cafes in Mexico. The novel jumps through time and space with a fluid ease that encapsulates the complexities of emotional destiny. As told from the unstable, yet charming, mind of its nameless protagonist, In the Palm of the Jaguar is the story of a man torn apart by an endless conflict of faith and held together by love for a woman that may not even exist. For every reader, what lies In the Palm of the Jaguar will be something different.
