I just finished reading it. I have to say as an avid reader for over fifty-years (from almost as early as I can remember), an English major, and a person to whom writing has been extremely significant professionally and personally, I found this book terrific! Well written--of course--you can tell that from just turning to a page and reading a sentence or two (my common practice). But the story--compelling, great characters, especially Will Border, and the setting. I mentioned that I enjoy reading regional writers, and in the Western U.S. that includes people like Larry Watson and Ivan Doig (that's the name I couldn't remember Wallace). I've added Wallace Swenson to the list. In any even I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys good literature.
