Painted Horses"Engrossing . . . The best novels are not just written but built scene by scene, character by character until a world emerges for readers to fall into. Painted Horses creates several worlds in a seamless and ambitious blend of history, romance, archaeology and nature. . . . Hard to forget."

"Engrossing . . . The best novels are not just written but built--scene by scene, character by character--until a world emerges for readers to fall into. Painted Horses creates several worlds in a seamless and ambitious blend of history, romance, archaeology and nature. . . . Hard to forget." --Bob Minzesheimer, USA Today (4 out of 4 stars) In the mid-1950s, America was flush with prosperity and saw an unbroken line of progress clear to the horizon, while the West was still very much wild. In Painted Horses, now in paperback, a dauntless woman travels into that untamed landscape in an adventure that will change her life. Catherine Lemay is a young archaeologist who's come to Montana with a huge task before her--a canyon "as deep as the devil's own appetites." Working ahead of a major dam project, she has one summer to prove nothing of historical value will be lost in the flood. From the moment she arrives, nothing is what she expects. John H is a former mustanger with an intuitive genius for breaking horses. A veteran of the U.S. Army's last mounted cavalry campaign, he lives a fugitive life, driven by pursuit of one last wild thing. John H inspires Catherine to see beauty in the stark landscape, and her heart opens to more than just the vanished past. Painted Horses sings a love song to the horseman's vanishing way of life and reminds us that love and ambition, tradition and progress, often make strange bedfellows. "Extraordinary . . . Surprising and satisfying . . . Brooks has fashioned compelling and sympathetic protagonists. . . . John H--orphan, rail rider, cowboy, World War II veteran, Paris artist, canyon hermit--in particular, has a backstory that is both intimate and sweeping in a way that may remind readers of Michael Ondaatje's The English Patient. . . . Painted Horses is, after all, one of those big, old-fashioned novels where the mundane and the unlikely coexist."--Kent Black, Boston Globe "Malcolm Brooks' novel has the hard thrill of the West, when it was still a new world, the tenderness of first love and the pain of knowledge. This book is a gripping, compulsively readable page-turner."--Amy Bloom, author of AwayBinding Type: Paperback

Is this the one for you? It was for me!
Color: Black, Color: Black
Okay so if you are like me and shop last minute before a major event then this is perfect. I went through pages and pages on here to find a bag that let's be honest here will only be used once and put away. So I decided on this one because of the style and color as it will go perfectly with my emerald green dress that I am wearing to my bestie's son's wedding literally next month. The size is perfect and the quality is on point. Yes the bag is a little stiff when opening for the first time but if you plan to use this constantly then it should be more pliable over time. This will hold what I intend to take with me which is just the basics so the functionality will be great and the fact that it travels well is another point for this evening bag. Big value for the money and easy to use. If you like it buy it, if not find one that suits your needs and style and budget. This is a keeper.

Beware of the smell
Color: Black
Starting with the likes about this product:
1. Beautiful design
2. Large enough for my cell phone
3. Most important it matched my HEEZ Women's Ballet Flats Shoes
Now for the dislikes:
1. The chemical smell coming from the bag was soooo strong my eyes watered and my nose burned just a little. There is no way I could carry this purse with out that smell wafting through the air. IT WAS THAT STRONG.
2. The flap was a little stiff to bend, so closing was a little hard to get it in position. I'm sure if you opened and closed it a few time it would loosen up.
Bottom line I only gave it a 3 star because of the smell and I am retuning it. Not sure if you air out the bag for a few days if the smell would go away but I didn't want to risk it.

Love it
I really like this handbag. The pebbled leather texture looks elegant and feels good quality. It is small but still fits my daily essentials like phone, wallet, and keys.
The top handle gives a classy look, and the adjustable strap makes it easy to wear as a shoulder bag. The magnetic closure is convenient and easy to open and close.
It looks stylish for both casual and dressy outfits. I am very happy with this bag.

Love everything about it!
Color: Brown
Absolutely love this bag! It’s real
Leather! It’s soft and slouchy. Has MANY inside pockets which like because I carry a little bit of everything. Has plenty of room without being overly huge. I’m using the crossbody strap to keep the weight off my shoulder and my hands free. This is a good handbag…and I am picky! This is the 4th bag (brand) I have gone thru this year alone. I’m gonna stick with this one (brand) til it wears out.
