The only thing I thought was interesting about this book was the way the author wove the new technologies (cars and telephones) into a more modern (1919) western story. She showed that folks weren't totally sold on cars but telephones filled a need that outlying areas could appreciate immediately.

Let me give you an example of why I think this novel is so awful: "But what he and Clara had done had been an act of love, he argued with himself.To turn her away when she'd begged him to fulfill her would have been cruel." What tripe.

I cannot imagine a 19 year-old girl asking a 29 year-old man to take her to bed in 1919. The story did not engage me; I skimmed the last half of the book, just so I could say I finished it.
