Lone Women by Victor LaValle

adventurous dark mysterious fast-paced

3.25

 Adelaide is carrying a deep secret, literally  in a steamer trunk, and she’s headed to Montana to make her own life. But what happens when the secret gets out is not what anyone expected, much less the other lone women living in the rough landscape of early 1900’s Montana frontier. While I did like parts of this book, some of the book I felt a little disappointed. I think I expected a bit more of a more horror than what it gives you, not that there isn’t any but I think it wasn’t quite what I anticipated. Still, though, I did like the writing and I liked a lot of the characters, especially in terms of the setting. And I found Adelaide to be an interesting and flawed main character who does grow in a way as the book goes a long. I can’t really say too much without spoiling the story but it might be something you’re interested in if you want to read about a woman’s life in the frontier landscape of the 1900’s with a bit of horror and found family mixed in.
