A review by leeball
The Homesman by Glendon Swarthout

3.0

I enjoyed the detail in this book related to the time period and what life was like back then. I had never heard of this type of situation where people who had lost their minds needed to be returned home - east, though after reading about their hardships is completely understandable. I found the book interesting and shocking at times. The ending was disappointing for me, though I don't know what exactly I was hoping for instead. All in all, I'm glad I read it. I rented the movie from the local library when I was finished - and it was terrible. I do not recommend the movie.
