The Horseman's Graves by Jacqueline Baker
1.0
I dont even know what the hell this was. If you asked me any question about this book I think the answer would be :I don't know
Who was the main character? I don't know
Was there an antagonist? I don't know
Was there a hero? I don't know
What was the message the book was trying to say? I don't know
Did you like any of the characters? I don't know
This could go on for hours, 20 pages left in the book I still did not get where this sucker was heading or what it all ment. It is set at the start of the 20th century in Saskatewan,Canada in a village of mainly German and Russian settlers. We go through 3 different generations of families, but not the same family there are workers and step kids I don't know(there it is again) a whole host of characters that have very little depth and seriously if there was some hidden meaning to Lathias and Elisabeth or to Leo, please someone let me know. At the back of this edition there is an "about the book" with the author,Jacqueline Baker,who is little to no help.In it she says she used subtlety and subtext. Yes I agree, but maybe she got carried away with it cause it is finished and I have nothing to offer in the way of what it was about.
I gave it an extra star cause I liked the cover
