  <default_description>In 1903 a mysterious young woman flees alone across the west, one heart-pounding step ahead of the law. At 19, she has just become a widow--and her husband&#8217;s murderer. As bloodhounds track Mary Boulton through the mountains, she is tormented by mad visions and by the knowledge that her two cold-blooded brothers-in-law are hot on her trail, determined to hunt her down in revenge for their brother&#8217;s death. Responding to little more than the primitive fight for life, she flees further and further into the wilderness, and into the wilds of her own mind, encountering an unforgettable cast of eccentrics along the way.</default_description>

You know her name is Mary because the flap says so, but throughout the novel it goes like this: &quot;The widow looked around her.

    <body><![CDATA[This lyrical novel is a wonderful prose poem by Gil Adamson.  Prepare yourself for a cadre of characters that somehow ring true regardless of their idiosyncrasies. Ms. Adamson's imagination and frontier knowledge blend rhythmically resulting in a consuming read set in the Canadian wilderness.   ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Book club book. Thank goodness for book club or I'd never, or would rarely read fiction. And yet, much as I've thought, and said, when slogging through a book like this, much of me wonders why I bother. This felt like a  warm up exercise for an author who will probably write a decent book someday. T...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75736511">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[There were parts of this book that I liked quite a lot - the writing was very lyrical and poetic and the story at times was gripping. But it needed a much stronger editor than it had. There were a couple of things that were so jarring they really spoiled it for me.
