This book is a retelling of the Hole in the Wall gang with "Billy" The Kid. This time though, the whole gang is a group of women thrown out of their homes for the most idiotic reason, that is, most of them could not have children.
The story is told in first person from the character, "Doc"
as she tells her tale of living among the gang and treating ailments.
The book was not fast paced as one might imagine, but actually a slow burn kind of western comparable to what you might see in a spaghetti western movie. Descriptions of places and people were ok.
The only real disappointment of the book was the ending. It felt abrupt and more like a cliff hanger. The author definitely left it open for sequels.
Good read overall. 4 stars.
Disclosure: I am incredibly happy to have gotten a copy of this book from my local library. The views here are 100% my own and may differ from yours.- Michelle
