Description
An epic family saga set on the sprawling, beautiful ranches of the American West, from the author of The Power of the Dog.
A Western family story at once intimate and epic, this rich, compelling, emotionally charged novel tells the story of the Sweringen family of Idaho: Emma, the matriarch, known as the Sheep Queen; the daughter who disappoints her; the grandson who adores her; and the granddaughter, given up for adoption, who spends nearly half her life finding her way back to her family.
"The Sheep Queen is marvelous... Her reign has a mythic grandeur." -- New York Times Book Review
"A masterful novelist writing at the peak of his form... The Sheep Queen touches the reader directly and powerfully... concerned as it is with such timeless matters as the continuity of family, the bonds of love, the yearning for roots and identity." -- Washington Post Book World
"A fine novel... A sense of family as anchor and root and self-definition [gives] the book its considerable strength... Savage is a writer of the first order, and he possesses in abundance the novelist's highest art -- the ability to illuminate and move." -- The New Yorker
