Well, I think is the first or second time I have re-read this one. And it is pretty good, though it feels a bit more incomplete than her books usually do. Mostly because the ending is a little too open. . . two major parts of the plot were not really definitively concluded.

But, it's still an emotional book, especially in its dealings with alcoholism. Again, it brings back a Native American theme. The prison sequences are a little stupid and also go rather unresolved.

All in all, this isn't her finest work, nor is it her worst. It's somewhere in the middle.
