Book Review of Sundance: A Novel

Sundance: A Novel
DieHard avatar reviewed on


In "Sundance", Fuller imagines that The Sundance Kid did not die in Bolivia but rather was serving time in a Wyoming prison. He takes us to 1913 where Harry Longbaugh is released into a fast changing world that is very different from what he knew when incarcerated 12 years earlier. It's not necessary to have seen "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" to enjoy this book. They are quite different stories. "Sundance" is not a western since much of the book takes place in 1913 New York City where Harry searches for his wife, Etta. It is an period adventure, mystery and part love-story. The novel is very well written, engaging, fast-paced and imaginative. This novel should appeal to a wide variety of readers and is worth your attention.
