Why read it?
1 author picked The Unforgiven as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
What I loved (and appreciated) about this more typical Western and what elevated it in my mind was how the author dealt with the looming specter of racial bigotry toward indigenous people.
Ben Zachary, a physically strong character, is enhanced by his ethical convictions. This is something that draws me to a protagonist, the idea of what he (or she) stands for and will do to live up to it.
Ben risks everything to protect Rachel, his adopted “sister,” who is Kiowa. Abandoned by hate-blinded, white neighbors, Ben proves steadfast in living his moral code.
Always a winner for me,…
