ABOUT THE BOOK
Arizona Territory, 1893, and the land is parched. On a failing homestead, Nora Lark waits for her husband to return with the water he went to fetch, while her elder sons have stormed off after a quarrel and her youngest, Toby, is certain a strange beast is prowling the property. For company she has her own sharp tongue and the voice of her daughter, Evelyn, who died as a baby and has gone on growing up in Nora's mind.
Elsewhere, Lurie, an orphan who sees the dead and can't shake off their wants, is on the run from the law, and finds an unlikely hiding place among the US Army's camel cavalry. Téa Obreht steers these two lives towards each other in a haunted, slyly funny reimagining of the Western.
