Simon the Fiddler by Paulette Jiles

5.0

In a style reminiscent of Cormac McCarthy’s All the Pretty Horses, but perhaps not as dark, Simon the Fiddler is a meandering adventure through Texas at the end of the Civil War. Love the friendships that are built and a long-distance undercover love developed through letters. By hook or by crook Simon and gang survive extreme poverty through creativity and music.
