Where I found this book:
On vacation in Colorado at a local coffee shop in Aspen. (The baristas assured me it had been sitting in lost and found for six months so I was welcome to take it) :D
What this book is about:
In the lat 19th century, a Ute Indian places a curse on a remote valley in the Rocky Mountains that haunts the area and its occupants for the next 50 years. Real locations are featured in the book, as are true historical figures who are woven in with fictional characters.
What I show more thought:
Ordinarily, I'm not a big fan of Western(ish) stories and the book is long: 423 pages. And yet, I found myself rather enjoying it once I got pulled into the story. The historical setting is fascinating and there's some great action along the way. The story itself is pretty amazing, deep, and the ending left me wondering if the curse would still linger. Altogether, 4.4 stars! show less
