The description of an alternate-world western setting helped to draw me to this book. It is that, with a dose of strong women struggling against misogyny. In this world, a plague wipes out much of the world population in the 1830s. Now, in 1894, women who cannot bear children are hanged as witches. Our narrator is a woman who faces that fate but manages to escape, first to a convent and then to an outlaw gang with lofty goals.

The book is a pleasant enough diversion and a lively read as she bounces from one crisis to another.
