This is a terrific read with regards to beauty of language and a compelling story. Adamson was first published as a poet and it shows. Fortunately, her word choices and descriptive passages do not detract from the forward movement of the story. It's wonderful that she's drawing on the west as a frame for her work in this piece, the beautiful country around Pincher Creek, Alberta deserves a fine writer's sensibility.
