The festive 1920s in Santa Fe are the setting for this comic romance. After a slip with the scissors has refashioned her bob, the novel’s twenty-year-old heroine, Amanda Williams, embraces the mistake, deciding to check into La Fonda to attend the next day’s Fiesta disguised as a boy. Soon she is entangled in a net of mistaken identities.
Madcap Masquerade builds delightfully on the venerable fiction tradition of romance gone crossways, mistaken identity, gender confusion, elaborate disguises, and meant-to-be lovers who keep missing connections. . . . A clever book to make you smile while subtly teaching both history and tolerance."" - Anne Hillerman, author of Rock with Wings
""Delightfully echoes Shakespeare's As You Like It, bringing new energy to the comedy of errors in which self-recognition and, finally, expiation are surprisingly possible."" - Kevin McIlvoy, author of The Complete History of New Mexico: Stories
