West of Here by Jonathan Evison

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


The two best books I read this year came from Northwest writers (the other being Patrick deWitt's The Sisters Brothers). And the landscape plays such an important role in West of Here's success. The first one hundred pages of Evison's fantastic historical novel is like the beginning of There Will Be Blood. You are treated to a time in American history when life was hard earned, wild and mostly unknown. Get this one.
