Mannen som älskade Cat Dancing eller Hon var kärleken von Marilyn Durham
The novel is set in the American West in the 1880s, but is not written in a genre style. It is the story of Jay, a man of the West, and his offbeat relationship with Catherine, a woman from the East who is fleeing an unhappy marriage. Jay kidnaps Catherine on his way to rob a train and together they travel through the Wyoming Territory. Catherine eventually discovers that Jay is haunted by the murder of his wife, a Shoshone Indian named Cat Dancing, and his actions after the murder. Pursued by Catherine's husband and a railroad agent, Catherine and Jay fall in love.… (mehr)
Excellent! It takes place in the 11th century, not the 3rd. The main character is an associate of William II of France and England.
Really long! I've read 400+ pages, and am taking a break.

I found the title interesting, as I had channel-surfed into the movie. This novel was better than I thought it would be, and MD deserves credit for a worthy effort, covering a little visited area of American race relations.
This book is a western were a man goes to jail for killing the men who hurt his wife. When he gets out he robs a train to get money to buy back his son. In the process he falls in love with the hostage. I think that this book had good points and bad. It had a tendency to drag in the where and when departments but the who the book was about carried it.
This hard back book was acquire from the McKay's free bin.
