Book Description: Set alternatively in England, South Africa, and Canada, Richards epic novel translates the world of 19th century England. We sweep through the rural country of Wales and England washed over with the traditional romance of the Victorian writers. Walk the halls of Tintern Abbey, peek around ancient cairns at harvesters and lovers, sit barside at inns and pubs, witness the rituals of London law offices, and just when we are comfortable in Richards narrative, he turns loose the mud, blood, and retching soldiers of the Boer war. In brilliant pacing, we are locked into mortal combat while horses and men vie for escape. The reprieve from such madness leads us to Canada the place of peace and plenty, where exploiting the dreamers and those who would reinvent themselves is turned into big business. Caught up in the fever that drew the Barr colonists to this land of challenge, Richards shapes the details of such misdirected enthusiasm into a tense, riveting final section of how the Canadian West was really won.
