Brenda Marshall

Dakota

            In her epic novel set in late nineteenth century Dakota Territory, Brenda Marshall opens a window onto a place little known and often misunderstood, to tell an original tale of desire and ambition. Emotionally complex, willful and resourceful, Frances Houghton Bingham is seduced by the myths of opportunity driving the settlement of Dakota Territory, and dares to dream of a new world in which to realize her desires.
