Capturing such deep passion and devastation in such a short piece of writing is truly remarkable.

As a sublime deviation from the brash and stoic stylization of rural men, Ennis and Jack are complex characters with raw experiences that bolster their genuinity. 

The momentum of this story provides a streamlined focus on the tenderness and constraints of the relationship, yet allows the reader to understand that the romance is destined to be weak to societal intolerance.
