Ok, so I LOVE historical fiction, but it has to be pretty event focused like the battle of Gettysburg or the divorces of Henry VIII etc so when a friend recommended this book I wasn't too sure.
It was a slow starter for me, probably because of the fictional characters, but I took solace in the fact that much of the story (ies) was given life from the personal journals and accounts of real people and trudged on. I am very happy that I did!
Rich descriptions and strong characters with whom you can identify give you nearly a front row seat to the settling of the west and the struggles of an ever changing economy and an emerging culture.
I'd recommend it!
