this is not (thank god)some kind of hate-crime detective novel. the prose is lovely and spare, but i feel like the dialogue is a bit clever, or a lot clever, in places where it should just let go.
that said, my experience with this book has been pleasurable, in large part just because i love to read prose about horses and land and mules and sky and fences and caves and small town folks with bad habits and nice children. all that, too, where the focus is not solely on white, herterosexual men.

I read this whole book in one day even though I didn't like it.

The premise of two main characters as being "minorities" in a possibly bigoted climate can be intriguing, however; I found this story a bit far fetched and predictable. The ending was a bit too unrealistic and "vigilante" for my taste. I did love the settings and dialogues throughout the book but it painted a picture of a scenario that I just couldn't fathom as real.
