I was fascinated by the blurb and I've really got absorbed in reading it.
Great second person plural narrator which made it feel as though the whole town were observing.
I loved how the seasons turn and the years progressed yet everything pottered on.
I'll keep thinking about this one.
And hopefully he'll write more as this was a debut.

One way out of a miserable life of pain, debt, and loneliness is a fairy tale—barflies like to hear one, hunters want to write one, and Tom and Polly drive the plot of their own as the Bonnie and Clyde of 1890s Montana. To Tom and Polly, pursuing a life of escape, beyond the usual conventions and logic, is a noble no-brainer, given that all stories and all roads, even the ones by a beautiful coastline, must end.

#walterscottprize I could see, smell, and feel the setting of the historic fiction love story. It is a brutal love tale set in an unforgiving land written in lyrical poetry. A big thumbs up. 4 🌟

Happy St Paddy's Day! ☘️☘️☘️

I started my day with a couple stories from the tagged while drinking tea my parents brought back from their last trip to Ireland 🇮🇪 before jumping into the kitchen to bake soda bread to go with tonight's dinner. Next, on to Dublin Coddle while the music plays! If you're looking for a playlist today, I love this one: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0GpyyMiGai1OHwfmkSEG6c?si=P7_wQtDjQ_mvsSdrPqua...

lil1inblue @Mollyanna I think it's just fantastic. My uncle took it. I think he's got an excellent knack for photography, but he always downplays it. 4mo
