The Horsemans Graves

A stunning novel of passion, sin and redemption, The Horseman's Graves returns to the harsh locale of Sand Hills on the Saskatchewan-Alberta border, the location for Jacqueline Baker's multiple award-winning short story collection A Hard Witching and Other Stories. Speaking through the narrative voice of a see-all neighbour and filling her story with memorable characters--a blustering, pious priest; a mysterious "witch" faith healer; the town busybody; a fearful young farm wife who is virtually worked to death--Baker unfolds a tale of a small German farming community where the failures of one generation are passed on to the next.
