I can also see this book turn into a movie, and a great one too. You think you are heading towards a clear ending and then. This writer has done poetry I understand, and I can see that, because the descriptions are sometimes beautifully poetic. I can see the comparison with Cormac McCarthy, one of my favorites, it being a dark story of an individual struggling to stay alive in wilderness surroundings, but the difference is that Cormac´s style is sober and direct. Especially the mine town part of the story is wonderful.
But once she gets into contact with other people in the story, it comes alive. The language and descriptions of the wilderness are beautiful, but after three pages of it, I thought, ´ok, noted about the wilderness beauty and cruelty, and now some action please´. A little slow in the beginning, especially the scenes where the Widow, Mary, is alone, were too long for me. About a young woman running for her two brothers in law, in the Canadian wilderness, around 1900, after having killed her husband, this is not a real spoiler, it is clear right from the start I guess.
