Holy Hera what a book! From the very first page I realized I was in for a hell of a read, and I immediately felt the inspiration Meyer takes from Cormac McCarthy, one of my favorite authors. This book is as if McCarthy, Larry McMurtry, and S.C. Gwynn’s *Empire of the Summer Moon* formed a holy trinity of Frontier / Comanche literature and had a a magical baby – this book.
This book is brutal, devastating, beautiful, inspirational, funny, tragic, and utterly compelling. It follows three different protagonists of different generations of the same Texas ranching family, spanning from the mid 19th century to modern day. I don’t want to say more, just dive in!
If you are sensitive to any dark or difficult themes, this book is a HARD R as far as content, so buyer beware.
If you like the authors I noted above, you’ll love this. Blew my doors off.
