Acerca de esta escucha

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A thrilling, raucous, and gloriously queer debut about a scrappy orphan bent on making her own luck in the American West—and finding friendship, romance, and her true calling along the way.

“A powerful feminist battle cry . . . [and] rollicking good fun.”—Minneapolis Star Tribune

LONGLISTED FOR THE VCU CABELL AWARD • A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: Autostraddle, Chicago Public Library, Kirkus Reviews, Library Journal

The heart wants what it wants. Saddle up, ride out, and claim it.

When Bridget arrives penniless in Dodge City, already disillusioned by feckless men and the uncompromising landscape, she has only her wits to keep her alive. Thanks to the allure of her bright red hair and country-girl beauty, she’s recruited to work at the Buffalo Queen, the only brothel in town run by women. Bridget takes to brothel life, appreciating the good food, good pay, and good friendships she forms with her fellow “sporting women.”

But with the arrival of some infamous outlaws at the start of winter, tensions in Dodge City run high. When the Buffalo Queen’s peace and security are threatened, Bridget must decide what she owes to the women she loves and what it looks like to claim her own destiny.

A thoroughly modern reimagining of the Western genre, Lucky Red is a masterfully crafted, propulsive tale of adventure, loyalty, desire, and love.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“A Western like you’ve never seen before: a story of reinvention, sex work, found family, and queer self-discovery.”Harper’s Bazaar, “Best Queer Reads of 2023”

Lucky Red is a brilliant queer feminist reimagining of the western genre—complete with an ingenious narrative twist and stellar prose. Set in Dodge City in 1877, the story takes the setting of a brothel from its usual place as a backdrop in the genre to its deserved place in center stage, filling the novel with nuanced and fascinating sex worker characters. Watching the protagonist Bridget evolve from a disillusioned sixteen-year-old orphan to a powerful woman with a thirst for vengeance is wonderful to witness.”Autostraddle

Lucky Red is the Western I never knew I needed—where all the most fascinating misfit characters usually pushed to the fringes take their rightful places center stage. Claudia Cravens strikes the perfect balance here—queer, feminist, subversive, and a good old-fashioned freight train of an adventure story.”—Sara Nović, author of True Biz

I was bummed about the ending, but I hope it opens the door for another book!

Well done - love the strong women characters

It was refreshing readying a Western with strong Women characters who had layers of their own history. Well done!

Compelling story told from the heart

Loved this book, a story as wild and untamed as the era it is set in.

Cinematic

I kept thinking how this could become a movie. The writing is so cinematic. But the old fashioned bias that ‘such love’ can only be spoken of if there’s tragedy and there’s a morally bankrupt aspect to boot is however a disappointing plot choice by the author. It’s quite a well told tale, just outdated in that way.

Should have paid better attention to the genres

“Instead of welling up to spill out unbounded … something in me seemed to cool and harden,
Like a piece of iron drawn from the forge and plunged into the water barrel- red glow, fading to black.”

With some of the reviews in the summary using words like ‘raucous’ and ‘rollicking,’ I was expecting more action, bigger drama, and a faster pace. I should instead have looked at the genres, which are things like ‘women’s fiction’ and ‘heartfelt.’

Other than the sapphic-bent, the flavor is very much like those traditional westerns, with windblown prairies, hardened souls, and frontier living. The prose is vivid, more so with Ms. Rey’s excellent narration. Even though the story is built around soiled doves, and contains a few sex scenes and a few F bombs, this did not feel crass at all. It was a slow burn, however, taking nine hours for things to boil over.

A good listen

I enjoyed the story and narration a lot. Favorite characters were Constance and Spartan. How do we get media to stop with this specific type of cliché ending though? Would have liked it a lot more.
