About this audiobook
This is the story of a brave woman - Joan Carver - of modest means, trying to make her own life, in a world dangerously dominated by all-male forces and desires and impulses. An absorbing, thought provoking but also stunningly entertaining Western novel that manages to make the listener think and feel in equal measure!
