Description
What could undo the tightest bond between two sisters, sisters who knew and loved each other better than anyone? Set in the 1920s in Oklahoma, Prairie Fever follows the relationship of two young women who fall in love with the same man. Every day, Lorena—beautiful, pragmatic, ambitious—and Elise—dreamy, artistic, funny—ride a horse across the brutal prairie to their school, a single blanket wrapped around them. Their lives, circumscribed by the remoteness of the landscape and the tiny sphere of their family and town, are intricately bound together. When Elise gets stranded in the snow and is permanently damaged by extreme frostbite, the dynamic between the sisters changes in a way that couldn’t have been predicted, and the teacher who had been in love with one of them realizes he actually loves the other. The only thing worse than a love triangle is a love triangle with your sister. But what if the man you fall in love with severs by necessity your closest relationship? Gorgeously written, heartbreaking, and often very funny, this is a moving story about getting past the past.
