Larry McMurtry, Pulitzer Prize winning author of Lonesome Dove, said “I read Pomme De Terre with the greatest interest and enjoyment. It’s a very vivid telling of this tragic American story. I’ve long been wanting something in fiction about the Great Sioux Uprising, and this book is the best I’ve seen.”
“Abercrombie Trail, Candace Simar’s first-rate debut novel, beautifully captures the wild unpredictability of nineteenth-century immigrant life out on the Great Plains.” Diana Ossana is an American Academy Award-winning writer who has collaborated on writing screenplays, teleplays, and novels with Pulitzer Prize-winning author Larry McMurtry.
Diana and Larry received the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for Brokeback Mountain.
“Endlessly fascinating…The ultimate ‘I was there’ book. I have read many books about Scandinavians coming to America in the turbulent 1860s, but thanks to author Candace Simar, this is the first time I was ever transported from my easy chair right into the book to experience it with them. The images of courage, cruelty, intolerance, discovery, and simple pleasures have stayed with me. This is one book I won’t forget.”
