In the Shadow of the Hanging Tree:
"We've all done it. Bought a book based on trusted friends reviews, then let it gather dust. That's what happened to me with In The Shadow of the Hanging Tree. And then I read it and kicked myself for not reading it sooner. Sound familiar?
Set in 1865 " Read more of this review » |

"Could not help but give it 5 star. Great story. Wonderful words. My first Everett and won't be my last. Audio read by Dominic Hoffman and he was perfect. Maybe more review later but my summary is: Just read it."

“The fragrance of the wildflowers was no longer sweet. After years of fighting, and often soaked by rain, their once handsome uniforms, immaculate when the soldiers had posed for studio portraits or during private farewells, were now tarnished with a noxious layer of perspiration, campfire smoke and cordite. The blood spatters, some from their comrades, some from the enemy, had become ingrained in the fabric and were now indiscernible from the overall grime.”

“It came to me that every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my heart with them, and every new dog who comes into my life gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are.”
