After numerous essays, short stories and the heralded memoir "A
Hole in the Sky," William Kittredge gives us a debut novel that
ratifies his standing as a leading writer of the American West.
Rossie Benasco's horseback existence begins at age 15 and
culminates in a thousand-mile drive of more than 200 head of horses
through the Rockies into Calgary. It's a journey that leads him,
ultimately, to Eliza Stevenson and a passion so powerful, his
previously unfocused life gains clarity and purpose. From the
settlers, cowboys, and gamblers who opened up this country to the
landholders and politicians who ran it, this is an epic tale of
love and wide open spaces that stretches over the grand canvas of
the twentieth-century West.
