'West' is the first Carys Davies creation I have experienced. In my estimation, she is an exceptionally skilled writer and story teller. The novel may be short, but she packs so much into her sentences.. Her finely honed, crisp style is much appreciated. I found myself reading paragraphs twice just to make sure I had not missed anything and for the simple pleasure of doing so. I love the originality of the story, and I admire the way she dovetails the threads of the story to such a good effect. Review: Not a great Western, but a very good one - This a slim novella that punches above its weight. Written in a spare but accurate prose, which is perfect for the subject matter and setting and calls to mind the great Westerns, we are offered a mythical story that is a recasting of the Orpheus myth with a large spoonful of Cervantes mixed in. If you're looking for an adventure story or the hard details of a long journey you'll probably be disappointed, but if you're looking for the kind of story that stays with you and rewards reflection and rereading this is a good bet. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 45,203 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 170 in Westerns (Books) 4,437 in Literary Fiction (Books) 6,491 in Historical Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 1,237 Reviews | ## Images ![West - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/712sFwebMlL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not to be missed. *by M***N on 19 May 2018* This book is a joy to read; delightful, entertaining and not to be missed.

These fine traits are apparent in this very spare novel. However, I felt there was little else to recommend it, even though it made for a good enough read. The premise is simple: A widower is captivated by the idea of gigantic animal remains out West and sets out on an expedition to find them, leaving his young daughter, Bess, behind in the care of his sister. Is this quest a fool’s errand? Does it reveal the unbreakable bonds between father and daughter that are not easily severed by time and distance? Is there a deeper significance to it all? And most importantly, what is the motivation behind this journey? These are unfortunately not the questions I find anywhere in the book, and except for the growing awareness that Bess is terribly vulnerable in the small community without a father that impels me to read on, this novel fell a little flat for me. A disappointment, considering how Davies’s short stories shone for me. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/178945036-west](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/178945036-west) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
