I liked the story, but it was a bit confusing at times, being stream-of-consciousness
narration by the main characters.
I started reading Black River by S. M. Hulse a couple nights ago and have fallen into the story.
Here's a synopsis from amazon:
Wes Carver returns to his hometownBlack River, Montanawith two things: his wifes ashes and a letter from the parole board. The convict who once held him hostage during a prison riot is up for release. For years, Wes earned his living as a corrections officer and found his joy playing the fiddle. But the riot shook Wess faith and robbed him of his music; now he must decide if his attacker should walk free. With lovely rhythms, spare language, tenderness, and flashes of rage (Los Angeles Review of Books), S. M. Hulse shows us the heart and darkness of an American town, and one mans struggle to find forgiveness in the wake of evil
SheilaT, I recently heard Maureen Corrigan's review of
Underground Airlines on
Fresh Air
and put that one on my list. Glad to read that you're enjoying it.
