The Hearts of Horses by Molly Gloss

5.0

Most of the westerns I have read are set before the west is settled. This one is set in the early 20th century, when there is a fusion of technology and tradition, phones and horses co-existing. Additionally, the main character, Martha, is breaking into what has been traditionally a man's world, taming horses without violence. I have to admit I was hesitant to read a western as many of them have been formulaic. This one is not and in the very best way.
