So Brave, Young and Handsome

This is such a lovely and unusual book. I'd have to call it a "western" because of the horses, the gritty lawman and the gunslingers...yet the narrator is a mild-mannered, family-man and a blocked author quietly drawn into an amazing story. The pace and gentle temperament of the entire book leaves you feeling good, even when bad things happen. It is also unusual in the way the good guys are bad and the bad guys are good and no one is who you thought they were or even who they themselves thought they were. I loved it. Laura
