by Kevin Barry is a rollicking Western romance adventure. As the winter of 1891 creeps into a Montana mining town, local poet, drinker, and ne’er-do-well Tom Rourke is beginning to despair about his prospects when the beautiful Polly Gillespie arrives in town and sweeps him off his feet. The problem? She’s set to be the new bride of the rigid, devout mine captain Long Anthony Harrington. As sparks fly between Tom and Polly, they decide to run further west together with nothing but a stolen horse and a violent posse in pursuit. Irish writer Barry offers a fresh, exciting take on a classic genre.
