- I want to die in my boots : a novel / by Appleton, Natalie,author.;
I Want to Die in My Boots is the untold story of Belle Jane, the woman who ran one of Canada's largest cattle thieving rings in the 1920s, who brilliantly broke every taboo, took the names of five different husbands, and nearly followed the tragic end of her great hero, the outlaw queen Belle Starr. Dark and daring, meticulously researched and mostly true, I Want to Die in My Boots is a lyrical, unconventional literary novel that gives voice to the unheard in a long-forgotten world. After leaving Montana for a third husband and the ranch she'd always wanted, Belle settles in Saskatchewan, before spending her final years in Penticton, reading tarot cards for strangers. Written a century after her arrest, this fictional tribute to Belle Jane, an unsung hero in Canada's west, is inventive yet thoughtful, a work of Prairie literary fiction that takes an edgy twist to history. I Want to Die in My Boots will appeal to readers of Annie Proulx, Sheila Watson, Robert Kroetsch, and Maggie O'Farrell, and to viewers of Yellowstone and The Power of the Dog.- Subjects: Historical fiction.; Biographical fiction.; Novels.; Belle, Jane; Cattle stealing; Ranchers; Frontier and pioneer life; Women outlaws;

- Inland : a novel / by Obreht, Téa,author.;
"In the lawless, drought-ridden lands of the Arizona Territory in 1893, two extraordinary lives collide. Nora is an unflinching frontierswoman, alone in a house abandoned by the men in her life--her husband, who has gone in search of water for the parched household, and her two older sons, who have gone in search of their father after his return is delayed. Nora is biding her time with her youngest son, a boy with a bad eye who is convinced that a mysterious beast is stalking the land around their home, and a seventeen year old maid named Josie, her husband's cousin who communes with spirits. Lurie is the son of a dead dockworker, a former outlaw, and a man haunted by ghosts--he sees lost souls who want something from him, and he finds reprieve from their longing in an unexpected relationship that inspires an epic journey across the West. The way in which Nora and Lurie's stories intertwine is the surprise and suspense of this brilliant novel. Mythical, lyrical, and sweeping in scope, Inland showcases all of Téa Obreht's talents as a writer, as she subverts and reimagines the classical American genre of the Western, making it entirely--and unforgettably--her own" --- Subjects: Historical fiction.; Ghost stories.; Women; Outlaws; Frontier and pioneer life;
