Lone Women by Victor LaValleMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Wow - Reading this book was quite a roller coaster of a ride! The year is 1915 and Adelaide Henry's parents are dead, their house and farm have burned in a fire, and she has packed all her belongings in order to move to Montana to homestead a piece of property.
This book is a little of everything -- a strong woman experiencing a challenging life in rural Montana, historical fiction, suspense, thriller, Western, fantasy, magical realism, and much more. I don't want to go into much detail because you need to experience it for yourself. I read this for one of my book clubs, and we really had A LOT to discuss at our meeting! Listening to the other members really helped clarify some of the plot points and character development.
I found it very interesting that this author is male, but was able to write the novel with the insight of a very strong female character. I'm anxious to read more of his books after this experience!
