About this listen

 Spring Warren breaks onto the literary scene with a remarkable debut novel. This often comic picaresque follows Edward Turrentine Bayard III, who deserts his upper-class family and moves to Nebraska. Soon he finds trouble - and a Pinkerton agent following his every move.©2007 Spring Warren (P)2007 Recorded Books Genre Fiction Historical Fiction Literary Fiction

Critic reviews

"A pitch-perfect narrator and a smorgasboard of sensory detail." (Jodi Picoult)

Ned has suffered all his young life from various illnesses, so his mother sends him to a supposed sanitorium in Nebraska. Unfortunately for Ned, there is no such place, it was a con, and he is left to survive by skinning buffalo. Various people take advantage of the naiive young man, as he tries to make his way in the world.

Poor old Ned
