The Survival of Margaret Thomas

“The Survival of Margaret Thomas by Del Howison is a truly remarkable novel. While set in the 19th century West, it is far greater than a “western”; it is an American novel—brutal, violent, gripping, evocative, and redemptive. The heroine is a beautifully realized, complex character, and her first-person telling of the story echoes with the rhythms and elocution of 19th century American speech.

This is one hell of a ride.”- Douglas Preston, New York Times bestselling author of Cold Veneance and The Monster of Florence and the Pendergast series
