This wholly unexpected Western written by an Englishman won the David Higham Prize as the best first novel published in the U.K. In lush, poetic language, Loveday creates an atmosphere at once authentic, frontier-harsh, and ethereal. Set in the mid-1800s, three emigrants become lost on the wagon trail to Oregon. "Surprising, sexy."--Sunday Times (London)

A tale of the Old West as it has seldom been imagined before-authentic, frontier-harsh, and ethereal. Scrag, a young man on the trail to Oregon, meets Justly, a young woman, and her mother and is drawn into their lives. Winner of the David Higham Prize as the best first novel published in the U.K. or British Commonwealth.
