Rosary Without Beads by Diana Holguin-Balogh

4.0

I love books in which the landscape is a character. This historical novel was based on real events in Lincoln County, New Mexico Territory. Real people, including Billy The Kid, populate its pages, and the main protagonist is the invented sister of an ally of Billy The Kid. Historical and economic issues overlaid with law, order, and justice are given a new treatment. It stretches over a few years, and I could smell the dust and hear the sheep.
