In-Store Book Group: So Brave, Young, And Handsom
SO BRAVE, YOUNG & HANDSOME with author, Leif Enger Leif Enger , So Brave, Young and Handsome: A Novel.SO BRAVE, YOUNG & HANDSOMEIn the store's recent history, Leif Enger's 2001 debut, Peace Like a River, is among the books that have received the most unanimous enthusiasm among our staff. We are proud to welcome Enger to present his splendid follow-up—an expansive saga of redemption in the early 20th-century American West—which pairs up a former outlaw in search of his estranged wife and a failed writer who accompanies him on the journey. Pursued by a relentless ex-Pinkerton, they encounter memorable characters and surprises at every turn in a road trip that is long, rich, and full of adventure. "Enger has surpassed Peace Like a River with this tale of outlaw Glendon Hale's search for the wife he abandoned many years earlier. Monte Becket, the narrator, tears himself away from his home and family, irresistibly drawn by Hale and his quest. The journey, set in 1915 and moving from Minnesota across the fading Wild West, reveals that Enger has honed his direct-from-the heart style with a story that both men and women will find immensely satisfying and appealing." ~ Recommended by Mary (booksense)… (més)
