A collection of short stories inspired by the harsh and unforgiving landscape of Wyoming. Here are men and women struggling to make a life and a living against the backdrop of a "dangerous and indifferent ground" that seems to confound them at every turn.
Throughout, Annie Proulx invests these stories with an intelligence and black humour that transforms them into something new and surprising. Inventive, compassionate and wildly funny, these marvellous stories explore the unbreakable bond between a people and their land, and will delight Proulx's fans everywhere.
