There are suggestions that he served heroically in the war, but all we see of him for much of the book is a convalescing soldier suffering from physical wounds as well as what we now recognize as PTSD.

The bad guys are the familiarly shallow, completely evil characters from earlier Grey books, but family dynamics add a layer of complexity that makes this one a more satisfying read. Even though the setting isn't the "Old West," the narrator lavishes the usual attention on the landscape. The racial stereotypes and slurs will be offensive to modern readers; the romance is as sappy as ever; and the occasional scenes of violence are shocking in their brutality.

Yet there are other moments where violence is anticipated and expected by Grey readers that are stifled, replaced by episodes of unusual personal introspection. The two lead characters seem to represent a particular post-War vitality. Morally strong, both seem possessed by a kind of fatalism that places certain moral values above their own fortunes, including their own lives. Jan 20, Joel Thimell rated it it was amazing.

Zane Grey is my all-time favorite Western author and "The Shepherd of Guadaloupe" is one of his best. What sets Grey apart from most other Western writers is his spiritual connection with nature. In Grey's books, man's ills are caused by his separation from nature. Cities, factories and machines are artificial breeding grounds of hatred, envy, strife and disease. It is only by returning to the land and embracing nature in all its glory and danger that man can reclaim his soul and find peace and Zane Grey is my all-time favorite Western author and "The Shepherd of Guadaloupe" is one of his best.

It is only by returning to the land and embracing nature in all its glory and danger that man can reclaim his soul and find peace and purpose. What it does have is a gripping story, strong characters, memorable dialogue and a classic romance. This would have made a great movie.

However you feel like you are in New Mexico because of the very clear definition he gives to the landscape and the beauty of the area. Write a customer review. Showing of 1 reviews.

This is perhaps the finest of the Zane Grey "war novels" dealing with the treatment the returning, injured war veterans faced at the end of WW1. Cliff Forrest is his name, and he embodied what Zane Grey saw in the unfair treatment of the crippled soldier who survived the war.

The Shepherd Of Guadaloupe

Forrest believes he is to die, and the only thing he wants is to make it home to New Mexico before he dies. Virginia Lundeen, the daughter of the man who hated and hindered Forrest's father and who had encroached and settled on Forrest property and began a "feud", sees Cliff's plight. She knows of the injustice done to his family by her father and decides to fight with Cliff to restore the property and to win his heart. This is a poignant love story of a man who only dares to dream of such a woman as Virginia because he knows he is about to die; and the passion of a woman who encourages him and tries her best in every way possible to see he does not die.

The Shepherd of Guadaloupe is a masterpiece of romantic, historical fiction any lover of that genre should want to read. Don't let the name Zane Grey drive you away because you think of him as a "western" author. I encourage you to get this book and enjoy the pleasure of reading a great, great book.
