About this ebook
FROM THE TWICE-WINNER OF THE COSTA BOOK OF THE YEAR
'Thrilling and enchanting.' Guardian
'Richly poetic.' Sunday Times
That I had souls that loved me and hearts that watched over me was a truth self-evident to hold.
Winona is a young Lakota orphan adopted by ex-soldiers in the aftermath of the American Civil War. Employed by a lawyer in the nearby town of Paris, Tennessee, she tries to forge a life for herself beyond the violence and dispossession of her past. But when the fragile harmony of her new life is ruptured by a traumatic event, her quest for revenge takes her on a journey that is horrifying, thrilling and enchanting in equal measure.
