Having never been to Montana I can’t say for sure that Watson’s descriptions of its land and its people are perfect, but they feel that way. Edie is a heroine at once familiar (tough, victimized, seeking, strong) and wholly unique - particularly in her independence.
I appreciate the way this book is broken into three segments, each separated by twenty years. Each could stand alone as a novella, but together they form something rich and complex and very satisfying.
