A Globe & Mail 100 Selection
Part epic of Texas, part classic coming-of-age story, part
unflinching portrait of the bloody price of power, The Son is an
utterly transporting novel that maps the legacy of violence in the
American West through the lives of the McCulloughs, an ambitious
family as resilient and dangerous as the land they claim.
Eli McCullough is thirteen years old when a marauding band of
Comanche storm his homestead and take him captive. Brave and
clever, Eli quickly adapts to Comanche life, carving a place as the
chief's adopted son, and waging war against their enemies,
including white men. But when disease, starvation, and overwhelming
numbers of armed Americans decimate the tribe, Eli finds himself
alone. Neither white nor Indian, civilized or fully wild, he must
carve a place for himself in a world in which he does not fully
belong--a journey of adventure, tragedy, hardship, grit, and luck
that reverberates in the lives of his progeny.
