I Love This Book

I inherited this book and thus didn't have Ledoyt, the book which comes before it. It didn't matter. The story stands on its own and it is wonderful. Beautifully written--never over-written, though--beautifully perceived and understood humans. I can't say how much I like this book. As soon as I finished it I ordered Ledoyt. Mimi

tormented minds and aching hearts

Besides the fact that the main character's mind chatter is like my own worst paranoia-worry-mind manifested, this book is beautifuly written. The author gives us a visual cacophony presented as characters and landscape, a symphony of sounds in the hills of the old west and heartache thick enough to swallow the reader up. This novel is a sensory delight. Just enough joy and just enough pain to make it a human experience worth relating to.
