This was a solid book of magical realism in a historical Western setting. It's like nothing I've ever read. I don't feel this will be one that I re-read, but I'm happy to have experienced it.
Graphic: Death, Gore, Gun violence, Racism, Grief, Murder, and Injury/Injury detail
Minor: Animal death and Child death
