This short novel made me wonder why I don’t read more Westerns. It nicely captures the changes that come with modernity both good and bad. Using a likable main character’s point of view we can see how people react to things we might take for granted.
Books like these are the closest thing to time travel. Nothings is juiced up for excitement and we examine things happening at a slow pace. I liked how the author jumps around in the timeline – just enough without being annoying.
I’ve never read any other books by this author but I’ll have to remedy that in the future. Next I am reading Will There Ever Be Another You by Patricia Lockwood.
