   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.

   What is a Homesman based on?

   • Soon to be a major motion picture directed by Tommy Lee Jones, The Homesman is a devastating story of early pioneers in 1850s American West.

   Is the Homesman a book of Joy?

   • They have only to do with joy. For a novel that tells so many brutal stories, The Homesman is a book of joy — the joyfulness of making miles on the trail, of working together on the trail, of finding an open ear and an open heart on the trail, a community and a communion if only for this moment, if only in this place.

   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 ...
