Much smaller than I expected - guess I should have read the details. More like an oversized bag. Slightly floppy. It would be better if it came some rods to keep the bag rigidly upright. Pretty though. Wish there was a larger size.
A beautifully written evocative tale. But I didn't like it. The dialogue and interior monologues are witty and intuitive, the descriptions are fantastic but as a story, I didn't care for it much. As other reviewers have stated, there is a lot of violence in this tale and my stomach turned with the treatment of the horse. The book is about a long journey and the return to home as many books are but in the end I felt "so what." I would read this author again as he is indeed talented, maybe it was just a case of the subject matter not being to my taste.
