Since I have adored every book you've recommended here, I had to look this up. Oddly, it does not show up on the Fiction DataBase website. Found it on Amazon, though...

"...a stirring work of fiction set on the untamed Texas frontier in the aftermath of the Civil War. One of only twelve books longlisted for the 2009 Scotiabank Giller Prize—one of Canada’s most prestigious literary awards—The Color of Lightning is a beautifully rendered and unforgettable re-examination of one of the darkest periods in U.S. history."

I'm hooked. No just anyone gets on that Giller Prize list, ya know.
