Mr B's review

After the death of her father, Jess sets out to find her outlaw brother. But, feeling vulnerable and alone, she goes dressed as a man, her hair shorn and her breasts bound. Larison’s novel is full of surprises and is hugely relevant to our time. It’s a tender, moving story about one young woman’s search for identity and meaning in a man’s world – with added gunfights, sieges, wild horses, sharp shooting and plenty of whiskey.
