Brides in the Sky: Stories and a Novella by Cary Holladay
3.0
Pleasantly surprised by this unknown, to me, author and her short stories about the spirited and hardtack women America is full of. I especially enjoyed the frontier themed stories almost as if the West itself were a character with its detached cruelty and beauty juxtaposed to the women themselves doing their darnedest to survive. While I didn’t enjoy all of the stories as much as those mentioned below, I quite enjoyed the direct and frugal style of writing throughout the whole book.
A few poetic moments from the stories I enjoyed the most:
Brides in the Sky -
“God moved above them, an invisible shepherd, the stars his knowing eyes.”
Comanche Queen -
“She let the laundry fall from her hands. Tears filmed her eyes and spilled over. Her heart was a rockslide, a wagon train, a circle of fire.”
