Customer Reviews

Gripping story!

I have worked with Alyson Hagy and knew she was a writer -- so I was eager to read one of her books. I thought it was terrific! The story centers on two Wyoming sheep ranchers who served together in the Korean war. But it's more than just ranching tales and war stories. These veterans are as tough as the land they ranch, but their lives have been forever changed and intertwined by the physical and emotional scars of battle they suffered decades ago. It is compelling reading.

The prevailing intelligence of Alyson Hagy

There are those writers who use language and those who seem to invent it; Alyson Hagy falls into the second category. SNOW, ASHES, a story about male friendship and consequences, about Wyoming farm hands transformed by a tragic stint in the Korean War, is impeccably researched, brilliantly written, and emotionally resonant. It stays with you long after you turn the last page. Hagy is one of the most interesting female writers working today--tough minded about plot and characters, deep souled. She is deserving of the sort of attention she gives to every word.
