I feel like Stephan from the old SNL skit when I talk about Lone Women. Spoiler free review is that this book has a lot going on and I never predicted any of it. I can see how others might find the story uneven or confusing, but I Iiked Adelaide enough to be invested in her bizarre journey.

Spoiler version (out of context)

This book has EVERYTHING. The Montana Homestead Act. A family of blind bandits. Demon!? A large theatre organ. Lesbian washer women. Sugar Beets. A trans child. Literal and metaphorical curses. Twins.
