It is Giraldi’s ability to balance the extremes of place and emotion that imbues his novel with unexpected allegiances, from Russell’s courting of death in a land where it is easy to die to Medora’s motivation in asking for help, from Vernon’s friend Cheeon’s last stand against the breach of his fortress home to the love between Vernon and Medora and the death of their son. It is a tapestry woven tightly with ragged threads, the knotted string of impropriety and outrage, the blood red of carnage and the still-white of a snowstorm, a land that embraces the aberrant, the desperate and the brave, my own twisted hope joining the tangled mess, a hope that the guilty might escape, survive the devastation left behind.
