The title recommended by pages: a bookstore's Kristin Rasmussen is in the Historical Fiction category.

On Swift Horses: A Novel by Shannon Pufahl (Indies Introduce)(Riverhead Books, 9780525538127, $17) “At its most basic, On Swift Horses is the story of two people, Julius and Muriel, connected by time and circumstance only to orbit each other throughout most of the book. On a deeper level, Pufahl has created a powerful depiction of the American West after WWII and explores the ways in which men and women existed in the margins of society. I was gutted by this novel and will return to it again and again.”—Kristin Rasmussen, pages: a bookstore, Manhattan Beach, CA
