In one story, a slight young man defies his mother’s insults to become a rodeo star, while in another, an octogenarian finds himself drawn back to the ranch that he quit decades before – against his better judgement. Elsewhere, Proulx demonstrates her taste for the macabre in a grisly tale of bad weather, gambling and amputation set a hundred years ago.\u003c\/p\u003e          \u003cp\u003eInventive, compassionate and wildly funny, these marvellous stories explore the unbreakable bond between a people and their land.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56440349032822,"sku":"9781841150765","price":8.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_27794080.jpg?v=1760379339","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781841150765-close-range","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
