    About this ebook

    The national bestseller that “reads like a cross between Charles Frazier’s Cold Mountain and Ernest Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms” (The Dallas Morning News).
     
    In this ambitious, incandescent debut, Malcolm Brooks animates the untamed landscape of the West in the 1950s.
     
    Catherine Lemay is a young archaeologist on her way to Montana, with a huge task before her. Working ahead of a major dam project, she has one summer to prove nothing of historical value will be lost in the flood. From the moment she arrives, nothing is familiar—the vastness of the canyon itself mocks the contained, artifact-rich digs in post-Blitz London where she cut her teeth. And then there’s John H, a former mustanger and veteran of the U.S. Army’s last mounted cavalry campaign, living a fugitive life in the canyon. John H inspires Catherine to see beauty in the stark landscape, and her heart opens to more than just the vanished past. Painted Horses sends a dauntless young woman on a heroic quest, sings a love song to the horseman’s vanishing way of life, and reminds us that love and ambition, tradition and the future, often make strange bedfellows.
     
    “Engrossing . . . The best novels are not just written but built—scene by scene, character by character—until a world emerges for readers to fall into. Painted Horses creates several worlds.” —USA Today (4 out of 4 stars)
     
    “Extraordinary . . . both intimate and sweeping in a way that may remind readers of Michael Ondaatje’s The English Patient . . . Painted Horses is, after all, one of those big, old-fashioned novels where the mundane and the unlikely coexist.” —The Boston Globe

      This is a fantastic first novel. It’s a bit of the classic western, with lots of wild horses and open spaces. Yet it takes us down new trails that lead to unexpected, but exciting places. A young woman archeologist, Catherine LeMay, fresh from university and an opportune find in the war torn rubble that still defines parts of London 10 years after the end of World War LL. Catherine is now headed to the American West. The Smithsonian and a Montana power and light company are sponsoring her to search a remote canyon for archeological finds prior to a major dam construction project. Has she really been chosen for her scientific credits or has she been chosen because she is a young woman in a male dominated profession? A young woman who might be overwhelmed by the immensity of the job and easily manipulated to give the expected report? Catherine will prove as tough in her own way as the weathered cowboy she meets on her first day in Montana. John H. is as wild and weathered as the mustang he rides. He has another side, however, which Catherine discovers. He has turned a life long talent for painting into an homage for the horses he once caught and sold. John H. has a checkered past, but his love of the West and it’s wild horses is as true as his attraction to Catherine. Each will help the other to seek their goals, but there is much to overcome in a world now run by money and power. Book provided for review by Grove Press.

      “Painted Horses,” by Malcolm Brooks, is a stunning novel brimming with confident literary prose. It is hard to believe that this big bold masterful modern-day Western is the work of a debut novelist. It begins with an arresting sentence fragment: “London, even the smell of it.” And then the author keeps breaking the rules and stretching the literary envelope. For me, the style was delightfully brazen. Best of all, it transported me intimately inside the narrative…I became emotionally part of the story. Everything felt real: the time, the place, the characters…especially the narrative. It’s one of those big sprawling stories that stretched across two continents and three decades. The novel contained lots of background stories in order to get the characterizations just right, yet the author managed expertly to focus all that detail on only what was necessary to support the love story at its core. The key action takes place in the summer of 1956. The setting is a massive, 50-mile-long canyon in Montana’s incredible badlands. A power company plans to build a dam across the canyon to generate hydroelectric power. The dam is controversial. Some locals look forward to the new jobs and modern lifestyle that the dam promises; others are disturbed about the potential loss of sacred ancient native sites. Before the power company can start work, they need to get an archeologist to examine the canyon to make sure the water behind the dam will not flood anything historically significant. The archeologist chosen for the assignment is Catherine Lamay, a 23-year-old graduate with no field experience whatsoever in Western archeology or ancient Native American artifacts. She has only a few weeks to complete her assignment. She’s eager to begin and highly motivated to do a thorough job. In addition, she fearlessness and recklessness—a trait that often comes naturally with youth.Catherine hires two people to assist her: Jack Allen, a despicable man who earns his living capturing wild mustangs for dog food and Mirium, a seventeen-year-old Native American girl. Jack’s job is to safely transport Catherine and Mirium into the canyon on horseback supported by a mule team. Mirium’s job is to provide a Native American perspective. Is Jack working for the power company and purposefully trying to steer Catherine away from finding what she seeks?Eventually, Catherine meets and falls in love with John H. The author never says what H stands for, many people simply even call him H. He’s 38 years old and a natural horse whisperer—the type of man who can tame a wild horse in little more than a day by gaining the animal’s trust through body language. He’s also an artist who paints impressionistic drawings of horses running free. He has the signature habit of painting odd things (like the backside of his horse) with his own handprint using yellow dye. He appears to be living hidden in the canyon. Time and again he comes to Catherine’s aid.John H is a complex, mysterious, and fascinating man. The book contains a lot of background stories about his hardscrabble life. These stories are told from John H’s point of view in the third-person present tense…as if this character is reliving his past with us, the reader. All the sections about Catherine and Catherine’s life up to her meeting with John, are told in the past tense…as if John H were relating these stories to us, the reader, just has he heard them from Catherine. All the stories about Catherine and John H together are done in the present tense from John H’s perspective. This is one of the stylistic elements that pulled me inside the book and kept me compulsively turning pages. I felt like I was reliving John H’s life through his mind, focusing on the most important moments leading up to and including his relationship with Catherine.This book is so sprawling, and the detail so penetrating and memorable, if it were ever turned into a movie, it would be a major miniseries. Oh, how I wish that would happen! That would make this memorable, cinematic, all-American, and emotionally satisfying story accessible to the masses. I loved this book and highly recommend it. This novel is not without its faults, but the overall effect was so positive, I was eager to give it five stars. I’m sure it will not please everyone and many readers may object it’s style and faults. There will probably be just as many readers who love this book as those who didn’t like it very much at all. Isn’t that’s often the way with many books that stretch the literary envelope? I hope this review will help those who might appreciate and enjoy this fine novel. If Malcolm Brooks can continue to produce books of this caliber, I’m sure he will gain high stature in this important niche literary genre.

      Painted Horses by Malcolm Brooks is a beautifully told story. Like all of the best stories, there is a little bit of everything here. The story takes place in the 1950's but doesn't feel dated. There are just enough characters to make it interesting, there is a touch of romance and a whole lot of determination. I refuse to demean this by calling it a coming of age story, but there is within it's pages a girl who becomes a woman. The ending? The ending of this book is like fireworks at the end of a perfect 4th of July day. It is a perfectly wonderful ending and the exact ending that this story deserves. Perfect. Catherine Lemay is a young lady who grew up surrounded by parents who love her, a home that was much more than just comfortable and she was brought up to be the perfect young lady. Her parents were anglophiles and so she became one herself. She was just the daughter they hoped she would be, sensible, polite and talented. After spending time in Julliard's Conservatory program, she applied for and received a Fullbright to Cambridge, and Catherine packed her bags to study piano in England. Once there, she realized that she was not living her own dream, but the dream her parents had for her. She realized this when she visited Fleet Street and stumbled onto and stepped into an archeological dig. A dig dating back to Roman times. She realized that this was where she was meant to be. Not sitting behind a piano keyboard, dressed like a princess, but digging and scraping and finding. Finding was what she was meant to do. It was what made her heart sing, and and her life feel worthwhile. Catherine was able to change her course of study, and to work at the Roman dig. After more than a year, she went home to her long neglected family and fiance. It was through happenstance ( or was it?) that she ran into a man who pointed her toward a job with the Smithsonian. Actual field work that was required ahead of a dam project out west. And this is where things get interesting. And so do the people. John H, the man with the painted horse, Miriam, a young Native American, and her family. Catherine, with Miriam at her side goes down into the gorge to evaluate the land. The land that many of the Native Americans called sacred. Sacred is difficult to describe to someone whose deity is more of the green variety. The gorge will change Catherine's life in every possible way. But, not just hers. Malcolm Brooks is a writer to watch. He along with Wiley Cash seem to have found the magic of writing again. Both of them will draw you into worlds that you will be reluctant to leave. As for Painted Horses I give it 4.5 of 5 stars and not only recommend it, but encourage you to try it.

      READ A FEW PAGES BEFORE BUYING. I read this book for three reasons: 1.) it is about the American West, specifically canyons which I enjoy visiting, hiking, 2.) it takes place in the 50's which I experienced as a kid and enjoy reading about, 3.) the reader reviews were favorable, a solid 4. Well, what a disappointment! Although I thought the storyline was quite interesting, I strongly disliked the writing style. It was boring and confusing. It felt like the author was working to be literary. There were a number of flashbacks, which I generally enjoy, but they didn't work here. Too long, dull, too much information. I thought the characters were not at all well developed, and didn't care too much what happened to any of them. No climax to speak of though the last 40 pages were much more interesting than the first 300. But not enough so to save this one. I think that a story such as this just begs for a simple, straight-forward writing style ala Cormac McCarthy's in "No Country for Old Men" which is a classic, enjoyable, and readable. And what was all the description of Catherine's monthly periods about? I'm sure she was constipated as well - thank goodness we didn't have to deal with that as well.
    • 2/5
      I was attracted to the book by the plot summaries... strong female lead character, archeologist around 1950ish time period... taking on a project in the wide open wild west... and to the degree that the book remained true to that, I enjoyed it. My problem with the book was boredom. There is so much description of the vast western landscape. To me, it seemed like a book written by a geologist. I can imagine an ending that might have salvaged the read for me, but the ending as written did not.
    • 5/5
      Beautiful writing, great characters, big Western landscape. A novel to lose yourself in - the book I was looking for all summer.
    • 4/5
      I liked this--a good, slightly skewed Western with horses and art and archeological digs and WWII. Lots of landscape not native to this northeasterner, and picturing it was almost a whole storyline in itself.More reviewing to come.
    • 5/5
      Beatiful language, big western setting, well developed characters and genre bending. Is it western, a romance of sorts or a character study? I can't wait for his next book.
    • 3/5
      While Painted Horses by Malcolm Brooks had plenty of sage brush, horses and quaking aspens that I love to read about in my western novels, it was unfortunately peopled with undeveloped characters and expressed in awkward writing. I was expecting to love this novel, set in Montana during the 1950’s, about a female archaeologist, hired by the Smithsonian Institute to travel west and explore a remote canyon for any significant artifacts as this area would soon be flooded by the building of a damn. Part of the area is on the Crow Indian Reserve where many are against this project. I think the author, in his enthusiasm, tackled too many subjects in this over long novel. In Montana we read about the wild mustangs and the people who hunt them, Indian issues, and Basque culture. He also jumps back into time to Post World War II Europe, in particular Paris and London, and how events from the past shaped the actions of the characters. However, my biggest problem with this book was my lack of connection with the main character, Catherine. I felt the author fell back on the “helpless female” cliche in order to move the story along and her actions were, at times, unbelievable. As a professional, she would have known better than to wander off by herself without adequate food or water and get lost. As much as I love descriptive writing the author’s use of incomplete sentences was irritating. So my high hopes for Painted Horses was quickly dashed. I loved the setting but could not swallow the plot, weak characters and uneven writing. Great cover though.
    • 4/5
      This debut novel by a Montana author makes great reading. I’ve always been attracted to Ivan Doig’s stories and this continues that Montana tradition. In the 1950’s, Catherine Lemay, an archaeologist from the east, is sent to find evidence of Native American past cultures in the path of a power dam. It’s also the story of a runaway, who loves horses, and as a hobo found Montana and fell in love with the country. Returning to Montana after World War II he forms a bond with wild horses. When his path crosses that of Catherine, life changes for both of them. I particularly appreciated the ending. It is realistic for the time period, and not some fanciful look at how it could have been.
