A tale of the Old West as it has seldom been imagined before-authentic, frontier-harsh, and ethereal. Scrag, a young man on the trail to Oregon, meets Justly, a young woman, and her mother and is drawn into their lives. Winner of the David Higham Prize as the best first novel published in the U.K. or British Commonwealth.
I picked this book up as I was intrigued by the idea of a Brit writing about the journey west, but there is nothing particularly British about this story. It is simply a captivating story of the people on a journey, and their individual and shared experiences. I cnnot compete with the author, so just strongly recommend that you experience the journey yourself. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
