"Death Comes for the Archbishop" follows the journey of French Jesuit priest Jean Marie Latour as he is sent to oversee a new diocese in post–Mexican-American War New Mexico. Accompanied by Father Joseph Vaillant, Latour navigates the challenging landscape and encounters both physical hardships and issues within the church, approaching his mission with compassion and reverence. Laurel Lefkow’s performance brings the novel’s elegant prose to life, capturing the depth of Cather’s storytelling.
