There are good guys and bad guys. The writer depicts western life as difficult, dangerous and not for the faint hearted. The storyline is solid, the characters are all solid and the five star rating here is solid. Highly recommended. One of the great pieces of literature, at the same time embodying and transcending the Western novel. And certainly at the top of L'amour's output. It is an exciting book, to be sure, but also a brilliant and touching study of love, compassion and justice. In its skillful simplicity, it touches the heart and reminds us of an often unmentioned, but very real danger of the old West: loneliness. The characters all battle this unseen enemy, each in his own way - whether literally throwing dreams into the wind, or sacrificing everything out of loyalty to the brand. Definitely, read it. Even if you think you don't like the Western genre, this one just might make you a believer. no reviews | add a review

Miles away, another solitary soul battles for survival. Conagher is a lean, dark-eyed drifter who is not about to let a gang of rustlers push him around. While searching the isolated canyons for missing cattle, he finds notes tied to tumbleweeds rolling with the wind. The bleak, spare words echo Conagherâ??s own whispered prayers for companionship. Who is this mysterious woman on the other side of the wind? Conagher only hopes he can stay alive long enough No library descriptions found. |
