   Is the Homesman a good book?

   • The problem with The Homesman is essentially its switch in focus in the last third of the book. The majority of the book is a very interesting (if somewhat simplistic) look at the experiences of the forgotten frontier women. For much of the novel Swarthout gives voice to a group that is so often ignored.

   The Homesman was first printed in 1988, and is highly worthy of its 2014 rerelease. Swarthout’s prose and plot flow like the swirling Missouri River, deceptively smooth but with dangerous undercurrents. His characters are heart-wrenchingly believable because they are drawn from true-life pioneer experiences. Mary Bee Cuddy is simultaneously ...
