Query: Disappointing

I found this book to be well written. The plot, however, left much to be desired. It centers around a man and his friend's search for the man's wife in response to goofy, ridiculously self-absorbed letters left by the wife (for some unexplained reason) at various post offices throughout the west. What occurs during the search is even less realistic. Moreover, we are told very little about the wife who we are to accept as some sort of modern day Helen of Troy. All in all I found the substance of the story silly. This was disappointing because Spragg's writing at times is excellent. For beautiful writing about the American West in a highly realistic context, try James Galvin's far superior The Meadow.
