The Woman Who Rode Away

Summary

The Woman Who Rode Away is a dark troubling story set in the wilderness of South America. What makes this story compelling is that the woman at the end of her personal tether and the Indians at the end of their cultural one, seek one another out for terrible but, perhaps, predictable uses. Each of them looks to the other for "salvation" in a way that expresses the desperation and futility of their situation.
