I received a gifted copy.
I have to say this was definitely a different read,
especially with the main character having no name, not even a hint of a name.
It is told in a narrative form for the most part, encompassing this nameless
character’s search for what … she wasn’t exactly sure. At least that’s the
sense I got from her story.
Seemingly, this character (whom I am going to call Arizona
as that is where most of the story unfolds) has a brutal job of sorts. It’s not
a nice job, but it’s one she accepts. Arizona also has a dog … and like
Arizona, the dog has no name, but the dog is her constant companion. The way
their relationship was described also intrigued me. Arizona suffered some
tragedies in life, so unbeknownst to her the dog became important to her.
She finds herself at Ocotillo Ranch where she encounters
Imogen O’Brien. Imogen is quite a character, she’s colorful, she’s
straightforward, she’s more than blunt, and she’s moody. I really enjoyed the
banter that happened between Imogen and Arizona. It was like they knew each
other, yet they didn’t. Imogen had cooked up a scheme and Arizona found herself
going right along with it, even knowing somewhere deep inside it would never
work. Just the mechanics of how these two women’s minds worked fascinated me,
and could they pull it off?
I think what intrigued me most was Arizona’s search; she was taking a hard look at herself which is not easy to do. Ultimately, I do think she found what she was looking for, but she took the long, hard road to get there. Of course, I especially liked what Imogen did at the end, that was totally unexpected. I’m not sure what it was about this read, but I finished it in three days flat as I kept turning the pages to see what was going to happen next. If you are looking for something different, a tale that involves some soul-searching, maybe you’re doing some of your own searching, give this one a try. It’s different. Again, it’s told in a mostly narrative form. And the main character has no name. Intriguing.
