John Long and his wife Eve, host Val (Valentine Welch) who has been commissioned to paint a mural representing the region for their new Post Office. John is a WWI sniper and wealthy art lover who with political aspirations and his wife, Eve, had a past riding the rails and singing in a band. They have a hired man named Faro who is a real cowboy. Soon Val becomes a part of their lives talking about art and life. When Eve takes off with one of John's prized and valuable paintings, John asks Val to track her down.
Thus begins the journey....
Charles Frazier can write, and his vivid descriptions put readers right in the midst of the story along with his characters. He depicts a time in the past, showing people and their ways of life. I had high hopes for this book but like the other books I have read by him (except Cold Mountain) this was a solid three stars for me. I enjoy his writing and yet there was just that little bit of something that was missing for me to feel more connected to the characters and their story.
Thank you to Ecco and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.

Agree with your thoughts on this read, Debra. I went in with anticipation and was going along thinking it was going to get much better - the story base had been set, but then, it lost focus and to me, felt like it was just all over the place. I didn’t care for the ending either.
Excellent review as always — was looking at this as a nice Will Patton audible listen that’s along the lines of McDowell/McGammon etc
