A lonely newlywed and her wayward brother-in-law follow divergent and dangerous paths through the postwar American West.

Against a landscape of half-finished highways and clandestine hotels, On Swift Horses is a story of love and luck, by a writer of rare vision and lyrical gift, in a new epic of the American West that affirms the value of rebellion and risk, of love and difference.

“On Swift Horses is worth reading for the poetry alone ... The prose is unexpectedly graceful: quietly lyrical and self-assured ... But in these characters’ cautious balancing of desire and self-restraint[,] the novel also has something universal to say about the necessary risk of love.” -- The Times
