Congrats on BOTD! The review was interesting and gave a detailed summary. The narrative of the book, which is told from the viewpoint of a Nez Perce warrior, recounts America's final Indian conflict. Jack's persona seems to be one that is constantly attempting to do things correctly but failing.

Great job on the review! The book sounds interesting yet long. I love to read about our Native American ancestors. I will put this on my list to read.

The book discussed a story of a man and it is set in the old American times. I am looking forward to be entertained with this amazing piece. Congratulations to the author on winning book of the day.

If a book can be delicious, then this book is.
It's full of both action, humour and suspense.

From this review, I can see that "Bone Necklace" by Julia Sullivan is an interesting historical fiction novel. I will read to know if Nez Perce succeeded in revenging the Indian attackers.

Books like these takes us through a journey that wouldn't normally be experienced because things and times have changed so much and the present methodology doesn't lend itself to the imagination of what it could have been back then

We're able to experience the events first hand just by traveling with the writer from one experience to the next and from one person's imagery to the next

Makes good reading for those choosing to indulge the history of inhabitants realizing that the preservation of life is paramount irrespective of color, race, creed or doctrine

I love historical fiction but American West hasn't been on my radar yet. I don't think it will be this time either. Congratulations on BOTD. This book seems to be skillfully written.

Having recently watched Yellowstone and subsequent shows it has definitely raised my interest in the old west.
We've longed to see the roses, but never felt the thorns
And bought our pretty crowns, but never paid the price
Find me in the river, find me there
Find me on my knees with my soul laid bare

This book seems to be an interesting historical fiction book. It only gets interesting as it's inspired by true life events. I've always wanted to learn more about the Western American history and now I'll have to read this book. Thanks for this well-written review. Congrats on book of the day! 🎉🎊

Nice review! I'm not really into historical fiction but this does sound interesting. I wonder how Jack will deal with the Indians and if he'll manage to bring peace. Congratulations to the author for BOTD!

I like historical fiction novels but I don't think I am interested in reading about what happened in this novel. Wars has never been my forte so I don't find this book drawing my interest.
