The Western Wind

Product Information

Description

Written with timeless eloquence, steeped in the spiritual traditions of the Middle Ages, and brimming with propulsive suspense, The Western Wind finds Samantha Harvey at the pinnacle of her outstanding novelistic power. Narrated from the perspective of local priest John Reve--patient shepherd to his wayward flock--a shadowy portrait of the community comes to light through its residents tortured revelations. Don Michael Sampson presents us with his signature mix of Americana country-veined music, wonderfully poetic lyrics, and the occasional rock 'n' roll or bluesy song. But will Reve, a man with secrets of his own, discover what happened to Newman? It’s 1491. Introducing "The Fall Of The Western Sun", he eloquently wrote: "These songs are your songs / They are sunlight and shade / They are wild flowers in Summer / They are blood on the blade / They are rough back roads / They are joys and sorrows / They are spinning wild wheels / They are yesterdays e tomorrows // They are from old beat up guitars / With ancients strings wound / From the dust of the stars / They are played with a fever / Tracked when day gives way to night / They come from the darkness / They come from the light // So all of you outlaw warriors / Stay up and on the run / These songs are your songs / The Fall Of The Western Sun. And what will happen if he can’t?
