A. E. Lister creates a western in a universe not often mined, the Canadian frontier. The Yukon Territory, in 1906, is a sparsely settled land with settlements days apart. The weather is much harsher than the American West. It is a huge canvas to work with. Jimmy and Oscar are a couple who were made for each other. Each coming from bad situations, they form a partnership with a finite end. As they travel from Dawson City to White Horse, Jimmy's violent past comes to call. All the action happens against the huge canvas I mentioned earlier. This would be a fantastic visual film if made. I enjoyed the growth of the relationship between Jimmy and Oscar. I also enjoyed the descriptions of the landscape and the towns. I am not familiar with Canadian history or geography except in the most basic way. It is apparent that AE Lister researched her topic well. If you enjoy the western genre, take a trip to the Canadian frontier. #AELister #760Miles
