Named a Best Book of the Year by The Sunday Times (UK) * The Guardian (UK) * The Washington Independent Review of Books * Sydney Morning Herald * The Los Angeles Public Library * The Irish Independent * Real Simple *Finalist for the Rathbones Folio PrizeCarys Davies is a deft, audacious visionary. Ta ObrehtWhen widowed mule breeder Cy Bellman reads in the newspaper that colossal ancient bones have been discovered in the salty Kentucky mud, he sets out from his small Pennsylvania farm to see for himself if the rumors are true: that the giant monsters are still alive and roam the uncharted wilderness beyond the Mississippi River. Promising to write and to return in two years, he leaves behind his only daughter, Bess, to the tender mercies of his taciturn sister and heads west.With only a barnyard full of miserable animals and her dead mothers gold ring to call her own, Bess, unprotected and approaching womanhood, fills lonely days tracing her fathers route on maps at the subscription library and waiting for his letters to arrive. Bellman, meanwhile, wanders farther and farther from home, across harsh and alien landscapes, in reckless pursuit of the unknown.From Frank OConnor Award winner Carys Davies, West is a spellbinding and timeless epicinminiature, an eerie parable of the American frontier and an electric monument to possibility.
