Inland by Téa Obreht

4.0

Richly written story, not your classic Western tropes told through two characters, a middle eastern immigrant, orphaned as a child in the mid-west, joins a camel train - a woman struggling with loss, drought, family and survival in the Arizona territory. Through it all, themes of water and scarcity, death and ghosts, hanging onto the past vs moving forward.
