This is a very very good book that delves into the subjects of faith/belief, love and the act of artistic creation. Set within a suspenseful plot of political turmoil, this novel eloquently illustrates how these interrelated subjects transcend such worldly games as politics, however serious and life threatening they may be.

Brutal and poetic. Beautiful and unflinchingly violent. A mythic tale of the wild west. Cormac McCarthy's masterpiece and one of the greatest American novels--up there for me with Moby Dick.
