Generally NOT a magical realism fan BUT this grabbed me right away . The combining of past with present tied together the idea of "sins of the father". A western, more in the line of Cormac McCarthy than John Jakes. The descriptive language made me feel the heat and feel the cold. Thanks to NetGalley for the digital ARC.

I loved this book. It was so much more than what I was expecting. A full saga. I highly recommend.

Epic, saga, heritage, the story starts forever-ago but it also starts in the present. The past and the present are so intertwined that to try to describe it doesn’t do it justice. You just have to read it.
