I'm not sure how historically accurate some parts were, but it was so beautifully told that it didn't bother me.

The descriptions of the book's setting and the changing time periods were the highlights of this story for me, and I did feel emotional in places purely because of the amounts of suffering various characters went through. However, everything wrapped up so neatly and relied on so many improbable coincidences that it was just not a book that really worked for me.

Colorado history and geography. A little too much trauma for 5 stars, but overall redemptive.
