During the grinding struggle of gold rush-era California, a nine year-old girl learns a secret that sets her on a path to revenge. Her imagination and lack of education drive her and her family to an unavoidable conclusion. Her story is a western without romance and without honor.

The scenes that involved her interacting with the world around here were full of offbeat moments. She was written to come across as the kind of girl that flies under the radar of most adults. This was the biggest reason why I was so fascinated by her, as it was hard at first to imagine why anyone would overlook what made her so special. The slow process of figuring out why this was so made it hard to put this tale down.This story spent a great deal of time jumping from one narrator to the next. It was confusing at times to adjust to yet another character’s take on what was happening because their points of view were so different from one another. This technique would have worked better in a full-length novel that had the time to explore why everyone reacted to certain events the way they did. There simply wasn’t enough space to divulge that kind of information to the audience, and it did affect how I related to the characters as well as the transitions between their perspectives.The descriptions of the shack Almira and her family lived in were incredibly vivid. I can’t imagine trying to do everything this girl’s mother had to do to keep her family fed and happy in such a tiny house and with three young children underfoot. Spending so much time showing what it’s like to living in such a cramped environment was a smart decision. It made the rest of the plot even more compelling.I’d recommend Almira and the Backward Family to anyone in the mood for something out of the ordinary.originally posted at long and short reviews

Dark and off-the-beaten-track By Nagendra Nyamgondalu **Received a complimentary copy for review from the author**This is a novella that spins a dark tale set during the California gold rush. The story revolves around Almira, a confused nine-year old girl and her family. She lives with her mother, a woman trying to tide through tough times ; her stepfather, a gold prospector down on the side of luck and hounded by outlaws ; and two half brothers.The characters are woven with deliberate veracity and end up like contrasting brush-strokes on a captivating work of art. The town of Mosquito is pictured as a bleak town with a sheriff trying his best to uphold the law.Almira comes to believe that her stepfather killed her real father and doesn’t love her or her mother. Even as this belief begins to overwhelm the little girl, Thaddeus, the stepfather is working against odds to protect his family from an extortionist gang. In the middle of this slowly stewing broth, there is a sudden and mysterious supernatural occurrence, which is a bit disjointed from the rest of the story. As the dislike for her stepfather crosses a threshold in Almira, she plots and carries out a childish act of revenge that leads to tragic consequences.The author’s cold-as-steel narration coupled with an ominous depiction of the old west, makes for an interesting read.
