Zane Grey

Broschiertes Buch

Wildfire

Beschreibung

This novel is considered by some to be one of Zane Grey's best. It is filled with complex characters and action although at times it becomes a bit drawn out as the characters make their way through the wilderness. There are twists and turns in the plot as the main character, a very talented and resourceful young woman, takes charge of the action. This story gives the reader a look at the rivalries and brutality of the Wild West as well as the power and influence of nature in the lives of people who lived there. (Gerald Matzke)
